Longtime friend in Colorado. When mom used to volunteer to help seniors with their tax returns in Boulder in the 1970s, Irene was her boss at the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). Mom also kept the books as a volunteer for the consignment store that benefitted RSVP. Our whole family got to know and love Irene way back then. Through all the years since we’ve kept in touch.
Irene has done so much all her life to help others, she got honored today with a building dedication for the new I Have a Dream Foundation building. It was a small ceremony with mostly family and Foundation personnel attending.
This is her family photo.
And the plaque.
A bright sunny day. Couldn’t figure out how to get a photo of the plaque without the reflection.
Of course we weaseled in on a picture as well (even though we had nothing to do with this honor)). We were just happy to be there to celebrate her.
