Diane Kleczynski, Volunteer Coordinator, Announces Retirement

Diane has spent over 20 years involved at FROM. Before joining the staff, she volunteered for over 14 years in many areas in Treasures Thrift Shop, various programs, and on the Board of Directors. Diane has served as the Volunteer and Facilities Coordinator for over 7 years. During this time she has recruited, trained, and welcomed new volunteers as well as supervised Treasures Thrift Shop (before a Store Coordinator was hired). She also oversees maintenance/facilities and some programs. Diane’s passion and commitment to FROM are obvious based not only on her long-term involvement in so many areas of the organization but also her impact on so many people that have been touched by FROM.

FROM will host a Retirement Party for Diane on February 24, 2020 from 11:30-1:00 p.m.
