Members of the 琳琅社区 community often go above and beyond their day-to-day responsibilities in support of student success and to further the College鈥檚 mission. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been many exceptional examples of service that reflect a deep commitment to the College.
At the August 25 District Board of Trustees meeting, Dr. Edwin Massey, 琳琅社区 President, recognized Gail Sheets, Graphic Production Specialist II, with the 琳琅社区 Special Service Award for her work to organize and lead a crew of more than 20 volunteers through the 鈥淎FC Masks for the River鈥 project. Since the project's start, more than 970 masks have been made and the 琳琅社区 Association of Florida Colleges Chapter has raised $3,402.55 for student scholarships. The 琳琅社区 Special Service Award pays tribute to Gail and her team, whose efforts have helped keep 琳琅社区 masked and safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Always humble and appreciative of others, Gail acknowledged the work of all of the project volunteers鈥斄绽派缜 faculty, staff, students and employee鈥檚 family members鈥攚ho assisted to make so many of face masks now matched to smiling eyes seen across campus today: Corine Anderson, Jodi Anderson, Kendra Auberry, Kaylee Cendejas, Maria Chavez, Renee Halle, Donna Ingram, Vicky Lucas, Susan O鈥橞rien, Rochelle and C.J. Popp-Finch, Jodi Robson, Emily and Sandy Sampson, Justin Sanchez, Robbie Sheets (Gail鈥檚 husband), Rose Taylor, Angelita & Al Tyner, Mary Walker and Brett Williams.
