Interview: Dawn Merritt

It's fun to interview different people attending Sew Much Love to find out why they go and what they love about it! I talked to Dawn Merritt of the Lake Holm Ward this week. 

She has been volunteering with Sew Much Love since 2013 and is a ward representative. A ward representative coordinates the stake efforts with the wards, organizes set-up and take-down of supplies during their designated months, and is just a general amazing helper in our program. Her favorite project to help with is making donor quilts. Her favorite part of showing up every Tuesday is getting to see her friends she's made there. She loves that she can give her time to such a great cause and find new talents. 

Dawn's favorite scripture about service is Alma 3:26-27

26 And in one year were thousands and tens of thousands of souls sent to the eternal world, that they might reap their arewards according to their works, whether they were good or whether they were bad, to reap eternal happiness or eternal misery, according to the spirit which they listed to obey, whether it be a good spirit or a bad one.
  27 For every man receiveth awages of him whom he listeth to bobey, and this according to the words of the spirit of prophecy; therefore let it be according to the truth. And thus endeth the fifth year of the reign of the judges.

Thanks, Dawn!

Reminder that today 10-12 we have normal service hours followed by a potluck at 12:15, and representatives from Life Center NW will be there! For those who are ward representatives and committee members, the meeting will be today, too!
