LAYPERSON OF THE YEAR 2007
This
year we are recognizing a husband and wife team as our Laypersons of the
Year - Mark and Dottye Foxon. Many of the nominations cited Mark
and Dottye as dedicated members who have worked tirelessly for many
years for our church.
Mark's
ingenuity and inventive ideas have inspired us to give towards many
projects - regular stewardship campaigns as well as special fundraising
ventures. His wit and passion motivate people to give. Most recently
Mark headed up the successful Dumpster Days. All who helped were
treated with doughnuts, coffee, and Dottye's famously delicious PB&H (or
F) sandwiches and brownies.
We
don't always see Mark and Dottye doing all the things they do "behind
the scenes," but we enjoy the fruit of their labor. Mark spends
countless hours in the baking sun working on the church grounds -
cleaning, pruning, and planting.
For many years, Dottye
has chaired the Scholarship Committee and overseen the awarding of
numerous scholarships for church members pursuing higher education.
Dottye is also always willing to host either Christmas parties or summer
barbeques at her home for the women's group. Recently Dottye has been
making posters for our front entrance that highlight our monthly
activities.
Both Dottye and Mark
have served on many boards and committees and are always receptive and
ready to help out wherever needed. They have a friendly and welcoming
attitude toward everyone. They work well together as a team. We are
indeed fortunate to have them in our congregation and we are pleased to
honor and recognize them as this year's Laypersons of the Year!
Plan to join us on
Sunday, June 3 as we recognize Mark and Dottye during the morning
worship service and at a catered lunch immediately after the service.
