Each month we'll feature one of our dedicated volunteers, someone whose behind the scenes efforts contribute enormously to the Foundation's success. This month we celebrate Martha Auld, a 10-year volunteer with To Celebrate Life and presently the Technical Advisor to the Board.

For three years Martha was a member of the Board where she used her corporate work experience to help the Foundation operate more efficiently. While Treasurer, she organized the Foundation's finances and used her tech know-how to set up our online database. An invaluable advisor to the Board, she continues to guide decisions on technology issues, helps train volunteers in the use of software programs, manages the database of approximately 9,000 contacts and supports the Stepping Out reservations team. When she isn't focusing on technology, Martha may be found teaching knitting to breast cancer survivors, quilting or sewing for her own enjoyment. "I like to stay busy...love to create things," she says.

As a volunteer-based organization, To Celebrate Life is always looking for talented people to help us achieve our goals. With three major fundraisers each year, there are all kinds of opportunities to make a difference. For example - do you know an administrative assistant, event planner, web designer or data entry person who would love to join our village? Then please direct them (or anyone else who would like to get involved) to our website where they can fill out a Volunteer Form. And watch for the announcement of our January Volunteer Kick-off in the December issue of in the Loop.
