I wanted to let everyone know about my sister's huge accomplishment: She was nominated as Missoula's Volunteer of the Year - and won! Jenny has been working for SARC (Student Assault Resource Center) for a couple of years now. She started by volunteering, then earned an internship. She continues to work for SARC, but also volunteers her time by training new workers. She also takes the 'crisis line' once a week. Which means that if someone is assaulted - yes, that includes the very nitty gritty violence against women stuff - she goes to help them through the reporting/recovery process. This can include going to the ER with them, helping them file a police report, and I honestly don't know what else. She drops everything to help these people.
So Jenny will be receiving an award on the Courthouse lawn in Missoula for her efforts. BRAVO, Jenny! I'm so proud of you. I wish I was as brave as you are. I love you!
