Using her many talents Traci successfully re-designed the Foundation’s logo, which in turn meant the re-design of the Foundation’s letterhead, flyers, business cards, brochures and other logo related materials in the first year of her volunteering. In 2001 Traci was also instrumental in the launching of the Foundation’s first Website. In 2005 the Foundation, once again, asked her to put on her design cap and explore the idea of re-designing a new website and become the sites new Webmaster. She graciously accepted the opportunity and challenge, even though she has never attempted to design a website nor does she have the formal training. During Traci’s years of work with the foundation she has been recognized as “Volunteer of the Month” three times and was voted as “Volunteer of Year” in 2000. Traci has been such a great asset to the Foundation and her willingness to give of herself is greatly appreciated. |
