Saluting our Table Captains

The keys to the success of PICC’s annual Building the Future Luncheon are our terrific Table Captains. Each Table Captain recruits guests and organizes a table of ten for the event. Even more important than the donations made at the luncheon are all the new friends PICC makes in the process.
So, here’s a big salute to our
2007 Table Captains:

LORRAINE COHEE

For 13 years, everyone at PICC has looked forward to Lorraine Cohee’s weekly volunteer shift. Her sunny disposition, hard-working nature, and gentle caring for the babies lighten the load and brighten the day. She’s long been one of the lead volunteers, who help with the training of those who are new to the job. The staff especially appreciates the irresistible homemade cookies she often brings. Now Lorraine tells us that the time has come for her to retire from her regular volunteer position. We will miss her terribly; but even more, we thank her for all the years and all the love she has given PICC’s babies.
