This week’s Service Spotlight is on Lisa Parker! One of our most consistent and dedicated Semper Friday volunteers, Lisa’s contributions have been huge. And in addition to sweating it out on Fridays, Lisa is a photographer and serves on our social media team helping us capture and promote our mission to the public. We are extremely lucky to have Lisa on board. Thanks Lisa, for your service!!
