The United Way Women’s Initiative Flagler is pleased to announce that they have installed nine new board members. The 2016 board includes: Linda Sanders-president, Maureen Walsh-vice president, Linda Mahran-treasurer, Lori Gold-secretary, Jamie Brown–special events chair, Joanne Travzel–fund allocation chair, Danielle Anderson–community service chair, Dr. Maria Barbosa–steering committee chair, and Cindy Dalecki–marketing/PR chair.
The volunteer board, voted into office in December, has already begun working on plans for this year.
“I am honored to be a part of this group of amazing women,” Sanders said. “They are passionate about helping the Flagler County community, and their impact in our area invaluable.”
“This amazing group of women have continued to thrive in Flagler County largely due to the extraordinary volunteer leaders that give so much of their time and talent to creating lasting change in our community,” said Alicia Casas, United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties vice president of Resource Development.
The Old Kings Highway Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution presented at check for $294 to the local chapter of the Disabled American Veterans on Monday, Jan. 11. The local DAR also donates nonperishable food items to the DAV Food Pantry on a monthly basis. The DAV receives no federal funding and all volunteers are unpaid. Donations are used to assist needy veterans.
