In pre-COVID times the month of November is when we would have held our PASR Delaware County Chapter Celebration of Service Luncheon but as with many events in 2020 we had to cancel. Even with the cancellation we did not want to forget to recognize the efforts of members giving of their time to our Chapter. A very special PASR award is the John J. Dillon Service Award. The 2020 John J. Dillon Service Award was given to Henry “Hank” Field for his efforts as a team leader of our Membership Committee. Hank our Membership Directory Coordinator works closely with PASR to keep our Chapter database current. He supplies the addresses needed for our Chapter’s membership mailings and outreach campaigns to promote membership in PASR. Hank produces a membership report to be part of the minutes of our Chapter Business and Planning meetings. Hank also works closely with our Social Services Memorial Honor Fund (SSMHF) Chair to produce our necrology list which is submitted as part of the SSMHF report and shared with our members in our Chapter newsletter and at our luncheon events. Speaking of your luncheon events and newsletter Hank prepares the mailing labels that are used by the printer to mail out the newsletter and event invitations. A few years ago Hank relocated out of Pennsylvania to New Jersey but he remained an integral part of our Delaware County Chapter services and continues to support the mission of PASR. We truly appreciate his organizational and data management skills in keeping our Chapter current and informed.  Even in the year 2020 with all the issues around COVID the PASR Delaware County Chapter volunteers shared holiday wishes to our members, 67 of them living in the congregant care facilities of Dunwoody, Granite Farms Estates, Lima Estates, Maris Grove, Riddle Village, and White Horse Village. John DellaGuardia, Chair of the Social Services Memorial Honor Fund Committee, first contacted the facilities to see if we would be allowed to deliver poinsettias. Once we knew we would be welcomed to share some holiday cheer a group of volunteers, following CDC guidelines, came together to sort and deliver the plants. Volunteers included John and Colette DellaGuardia, Chris and Lee Eaton, Caroline Fedena, Bob Cenname, Sue Stevens and Anne Mosakowski plus the member contacts living at the congregant care communities. Thanks to all our holiday helpers.  The PASR Delaware County Chapter has a new President. Outgoing Chapter President, Anne Mosakowski passed the gavel to incoming Chapter President, Dr. Janice HoffmanWillis. Anne served as Chapter President for the past three years. Anne also is the Chapter website coordinator and she plans to continue in that role. She is also the secretary to PASR Region 1. Janice is active with our Chapter and PASR Region 1. Janice has chaired the Chapter Luncheon Committee, is a member of the Educational Support Committee and is the Region 1 Educational Support Representative. Janice has taken up the gavel to continue her leadership efforts now as President fulfilling our motto; “To serve, not to be served”.
