I’d like to propose Ellen Lane as an Unsung Hero.
Ellen has run a knitting group for over 15 years, at the Center for Senior Activities. They meet weekly, and knits shawls for cancer patients.
Ellen drives the finished products to Susan Komen, and other cancer centers.
Yesterday, Ellen Lane’s knitting group thanked her for all she does …
Ellen is a volunteer who has created a wonderfully supportive atmosphere and sense of community with the knitting group.
She brings in a cake once a month for group birthdays, and supplies yarn to those who need it. Members thrive on their conversations, while creating contributions to people undergoing treatments.
… and gathered for a group photo.
Former Senior Center director Sue Pfister calls Ellen “a gem.” She said Ellen is a very kind and caring person, who provides rides to knitting if needed, calls if someone is sick, and checks to see why they are absent.
Many other Senior Center friends echo Lynn and Sue’s praises. Thank you, Ellen — and congratulations on being a true Unsung Hero, for so many!
