WHAT A TEAM!

Flo and Joe were scarcely moved into the retirement home they had built when it became apparent that they were RSVP material.

It was just about four years ago that Flo took the Thresholds & Decisions training and immediately thereafter began her work at the Grafton County (NH) House of Corrections. At first she taught Micro classes, but this quiet, modest woman is a born leader...

Flo and Joe have eleven children between them, all of whom are in a fairly narrow age range. They are adults now and on their own, but just imagine the organizational skills required to manage such a large young family and still maintain their respective full time jobs! So when the Directors of North Country Thresholds & Decisions needed the right person to take over this very important RSVP station at GCHC, Flo was a natural choice. It was just another ball to juggle and she is very good at that. This writer also teaches Thresholds and can verify that the transition has been quite smooth.

Volunteer! Do It Because YOU Can Make A Difference! You CAN Make A Difference!

Joe has a large property to keep neat and tidy, but he has the energy and time to cultivate a huge vegetable garden. In his free time, Joe volunteers for the RSVP Home Patrol in Haverhill .

RSVP is lucky to have signed up Flo and Joe. We wish to express our appreciation to these very capable volunteers.
