Paulette Pederson is our Volunteer of the Week!
Paulette has been volunteering for the Green Bay Community Theater for more than seven years! Green Bay Community Theater's mission is to provide live entertainment at a reasonable price to those in the Green Bay area and to encourage community members to be a part of the productions, bringing a cultural experience to the patrons. Paulette assists with ushering and selling concessions at the live shows. Paulette fulfills the same amount of volunteer hours of five typical volunteers and without her; the theater would not run as smoothly. Paulette is an excellent people person, particularly when working with senior patrons and she is always willing to help with whatever is needed at the theater. Her continuous volunteer efforts mean the theater can use their limited funds to maintain the building and produce their shows, therefore being able to continue their mission.
Thank you, Paulette, for your willingness to help and promote Green Bay Community Theater.

Founded by six cardiologists in 1924, our organization now includes more than 22.5 million volunteers and supporters. We fund innovative research, fight for stronger public health policies, and provide critical tools and information to save and improve lives. Our nationwide organization includes 156 local offices and more than 3,000 employees. We moved our national headquarters from New York to Dallas in 1975 to be more centrally located. The American Stroke Association was created as a division in 1997 to bring together the organization’s stroke-related activities. What We Do: To improve the lives of all Americans, we provide public health education in a variety of ways. We’re the nation’s leader in CPR education training. We help people understand the importance of healthy lifestyle choices. We provide science-based treatment guidelines to healthcare professionals to help them provide quality care to their patients. We educate lawmakers, policymakers and the public as we advocate for changes to protect and improve the health of our communities.
