Congratulations to Mary Bays for being Met Council’s June
2012 Volunteer of the Month! Mary is an exemplary volunteer who continuously
demonstrates commitment and kindness to staff and clients alike. With a full
time career as a designer, she still makes time to lead volunteers once a month
at our Senior Lunch Program, as well as give up free time to lend her sewing
skills to Met Council. We cannot thank her enough for always going above and
beyond for us!
Mary is originally from West Virginia and has made her life
in NYC by becoming a successful designer. She not only creates her own
beautiful pieces, but teaches her art to others at three NYC fashion colleges.
She is compassionate and caring in her career and carries it onto her
volunteering.
Mary is a dedicated Volunteer leader for Met Council’s
Senior Lunch Program in which she coordinates volunteers who serve a hot kosher
meal and socialize with low-income seniors. Volunteers in the past who have had
the pleasure to work with her, commend her cheerful personality,
professionalism, and style.
Here at the volunteer department, we are glowing about Mary
because she never hesitates to lend her skills when called upon. She solely
volunteered her free time to sew yards and yards of tablecloths for our lunch
programs!
“Not only is she a role model in the fashion industry, but
she is an inspiration for us here at Met Council’s volunteer department. I wish
we had more willing and able volunteer leaders like Mary- we couldn’t have
accomplished our goal of making and using reusable tablecloths without her”
said Simone Carvalho, AmeriCorps volunteer coordinator for Met Council.
Mary says about her Met Council volunteer experience, “I
love to see the happiness and sense of community that is created through the
programs here. For me, I truly appreciate the chance to give back to a
community and a city that has given so much to me.”
We are grateful and would like to acknowledge all her hard
work by prizing her as June 2012 Volunteer of the Month!
