SERVICE AWARD for JUNE GRIFFIN

MRS. JUNE GRIFFIN

January 15, 2010

June Griffin has demonstrated her wiliness and skill in assisting her fellow human beings in a number of ways her entire life. We in the Ormond Chapter first met June Griffin in 1992 when she served as a counselor for the elderly at the Council On Aging (COA). June was part of one of the first NARFE Service Centers in our state. She assisted both NARFE members and the elderly in matters of insurance, Medicare, and living assistance.

While June was volunteering at the COA she was also a caregiver at home for two of her grown children. June had two children who needed physical and medical assistance. In addition to her volunteer work and care giving, June was a widow. These tasks did not stop June from becoming involved in our new NARFE Ormond Beach Chapter. First she was a caller, and later she became Treasurer for the Chapter. June has served as Treasurer for the past nine years. During this time her son‘s health improved; but her daughter still needed help, and June also became Guardian of her grandson. June has been a caregiver for over eighteen years and still found time to serve NARFE and her fellow retirees.

June Griffin’s list of accomplishment as Caregiver, Chapter Officer ,Caller, assistant on projects like the Senior Expo and COA all indicate that she is an outstand human being and deserves our recognition.

I am pleased to give June Griffin the Chapter Distinguished Service Award for the year 2009.

Robert Wehrli,

President of NARFE Ormond Beach Chapter 2247
