Shelby County is lucky to have so many helping hands who have chosen to serve many of our local community organizations. We often hear stories of individuals who decide to start serving after they have retired. Such is the case with Tim and Janice Conway who have dedicated a great deal of their time after retirement to serving Shelby together as a couple.
”We have been serving at Shelby Senior Services for over 5 years. We volunteer in a variety of ways such as leading stained glass classes, helping deliver the Horizons newsletter, presentations at Lunch and Learn, serve on the Centers Advisory Committee and are monthly supporters of the Food Pantry. We volunteer as it is a way to give back to our community which has been a lifelong value. We could not imagine retirement without service. We do also volunteer with our home church. Tim is involved in the monthly Prayer Group Breakfast in which Janice assist in preparing the meal. Volunteering makes the both of us feel that we can still help people. We volunteer because we can!! Nothing we do would be possible without the strength of the Lord. We saw retirement as traveling for fun, but we were lead to Wisconsin for 10 summers to learn new arts, meet new people, work with people from all over the world and came away with many Forever Friends, getting us prepared to serve our community and volunteer locally.”
