DENA DAVIS AND TERESA NELSON HONORED
FWDBC members Dena Davis and Teresa Nelson (with Fort Wayne's Unit 154 Board Representative Gary Chaney in photo, Teresa on right) were recently chosen to receive the prestigious 2019 ACBL Charity Pin Award for District 12, in recognition of their volunteer service for our Longest Day event and activities. Each year two individuals from each district are recognized for their efforts and successes on behalf of the ACBL’s charity campaigns, especially the Longest Day. The two spent more than 100 hours planning and implementing our club’s 2019 Longest Day events and activities, which resulted in more than $18,000 raised to support Alzheimer’s research and services. Thank you, Dena and Teresa, for your hard work and unqualified success.
