CONGRATULATIONS TO JIM COOPER, JON GAGE and BRUCE MACNAIR: OUR LEADING LIGHT AWARD RECIPIENTS
FOR JANUARY
|
|
Please join the Leadership Development Team in congratulating Tech Team volunteers Jim Cooper, Jon Gage and Bruce MacNair as January’s Leading Light award recipients.
Jim, Jon and Bruce’s consistent commitment to our tech work has been an invaluable benefit to our community for which we are extremely grateful. Staying connected on ZOOM through the worst of the pandemic helped provide a lifeline for many in our community. Bruce, Jim and Jon show up every Sunday week after week, volunteering an innumerable number of hours. Bruce works with our paid staff, David Vita and Desmond Hughes, to manage the sound aspects of the broadcast while Jim and Jon emcee our services on ZOOM. It may appear seamless but this dedicated team has had to overcome numerous challenges. For all their dedication and commitment to TUCW Jim, Jon and Bruce truly are Leading Lights.
