We all know what an asset Michael Neuman is to our docent corps here at the Folger, but did you know Mike has another calling: volunteer par excellence with Capitol Hill Village (CHV).
CHV is a non-profit organization established two years ago to help residents of the Hill stay in their homes as they grow older: offering transportation services, minor home repairs, medical advocacy, meal preparation, shopping services, etc.
At CHV’s October 3 anniversary celebration, Mike was honored as "Volunteer of the Year" for his "indefatigable and kindly assistance to (CHV) members in driving them to appointments and events" and for his grant-writing services. Mike’s efforts resulted in "a major grant to enhance the Village website and a city appropriation to help underwrite the low-income ‘Membership Plus’ program."
Congratulations from all of us, Michael. We are so fortunate you are one of us!!!
