volunteer contributions in 2009.

 

According to Don Doucette, FPRL chairman, “Florence (Flo) Quigley is any volunteer organization's dream. Flo is known in her community as a ‘people’ person with positive energies to match. She has brought these traits to the Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse (FPRL) from the beginning of the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse restoration effort. Flo is a very thoughtful and caring person who has devoted her life to working for and with people.”

 

“She has ably cared for family members during the years including her five children, and as Dave Kelleher relates, ‘her career as a teacher's assistant in special education was most noted by her deep commitment to ‘her’ kids.’”

 

“Flo has also long been involved with many volunteer activities and organizations within the local community, and participates with great enthusiasm and commitment. She is a willing worker who can be counted on in many ways - the term ‘self starter’ applies here.”

 

“As for the FPRL, Flo has been an active member of our Events Committee since the group’s founding. Thanks to Flo, tables at our cruises and dinners have been made more attractive through her efforts. She actively and successfully canvasses for new members and encourages friends to attend our fundraising functions. Flo also cooks and bakes for our pot-luck suppers and public meetings, and fills the roster wherever a responsible volunteer is needed.”

 

“Flo is known and respected in her community as she willingly brings her many gifts and talents to the Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse. She remains for the FPRL a steadfast volunteer ‘worker bee’ with pinches of good cheer generously blended into the mix for good measure.”
