[Community-Service] Women Power

Thu Mar 9 14:34:33 UTC 2023

FYI  this was posted on the National Community Service Division Facebook page and their list-serve e-mail

We want to pay tribute to International Women’s Day and Women’s History month, by introducing, Women Crushing It Wednesday! We believe it is essential to recognize members who are truly committed in serving, Beyond The Six Dots.
For March 1st, we would like to spotlight Patricia McPherson from Cuyahoga falls, Ohio. However, some know her as Butterfly!
Pat has a tremendous amount of passion for giving unto others and her commitment to serve. She is extremely active as an advocate, a loving mentor to many, a proud federationist, and is always finding creative and influential ways to give back to her community.
Her bright colorful wings have been visible throughout countless activities, on a local and national level.
Her dedication to service does not end with the federation. She is a member of Rolling Thunder, which is an organization to support veterans. The major function of Rolling Thunder is to publicize the Prisoners of War (POW) and Missing In Action (MIA), issue. They also educate the public on the history of American POWs who had been left behind and they help protect future Veterans from being left behind. 
When the Ohio Strong Butterfly is not giving back to her local community, she is serving at a youth shelter for the CSD service project, advocating for the rights of disabled individuals on Capitol Hill, and being an impactful source of encouragement to men and women all over this nation! She loves to help, serves with a kind heart, and has never met a stranger!
Thank you for, Crushing it, Miss Butterfly!
