Congratulations to WV Chapter 42
Joining the Pioneers in 1984, Fran Nutter has served as Clarksburg Life Member Club president, chapter Life Member representative, chapter vice president, and chapter president. She worked diligently as chapter president during the transition of the Verizon sale to Frontier Communications. She encouraged and helped with the reestablishment of the Clarksburg Pioneer Council in 2009 by mentoring new officers and helping recruit new Pioneers. While she was chapter vice president, she organized and designed a Pioneer Centennial coffee mug for a fundraiser. The chapter bought each council and club six Courage Lion sets to donate to various hospitals, domestic violence centers, and Head Start programs for children. For the past 12 years, she has been involved in the International Sports Jamboree. She served as the Decoration Committee chairperson in 2000, has been the Publicity chairperson for several years and is currently the General chairperson. At the Jamboree, you will find her busy preparing food in the kitchen area where she delights in serving the participants, their families and all the volunteers. This year, she received a grant to resurface the basketball/playground area. According to Nutter, “The Jamboree is one of the most rewarding projects I have been involved in.” She has also helped her community through various projects, such as painting Pioneer Playground Maps at several schools, stuffing dozens of Hug-A-Bears, delivering hundreds of dictionaries to elementary students and to regional jails for GED classes, presenting “A Book About Me” to preschool and kindergarten students and presenting numerous USA map rugs to elementary schools. She has organized and collected supplies for local food pantries, the Clarksburg Mission, and domestic violence centers.
The annual pasta dinner for the participants in the Charleston Distance Run was held on September 2nd. Pioneers from both Charleston Life Member Club and from Frontier volunteered to serve food, give out fruit, clean tables, pour soft drinks and coffee for the participants that evening. A fun time was had by all. To see a video, click the link below. http://video214.com/play/8zKTBYmzkYXyUeLbflQ8Ew/s/dark |
