Congratulations to New Member Lenore Sears
 
Congratulations to our new member Lenore Sears-Gay who joined us last month.  Lenore leads a very, very busy life and most of her time is spent helping others in need. She is a mom, a nurse, a foster mom, an advocate, a terrific public speaker and a genuine heroine !
 
Lenore was recently recognized on television on the Drew Barrymore Show as a 'DrewGooder' where she received a check for $15,000 towards her cause. Lenore also won the 7th Annual Women of Excellence award including a charity award of $1000.  You can view it HERE <=====
 
There literally aren't enough words here to describe Lenore's past accomplishments.  So take a minute and watch her very charming appearance on the show and learn what Lenore's life is all about. You will be in awe.  
 
Congratulations Lenore, we're amazed of what you have unselfishly accomplished and proud that you chose to serve through Rotary.
