The December Volunteer Spotlight features Bob and

The December Volunteer Spotlight features Bob and Carol Messinger. Carol and Bob Messinger are some of our most dedicated volunteers! Carol comes in every week (sometimes more than once!) to docent for ACE. Bob and Carol are always willing to lend a helping hand with challenging projects, moving equipment, organizing, building, and so much more. Every part of the ACE facility has been touched in some way by their capable hands. As a team, they have put in over 2000 volunteer hours since 2016. We are so thankful for them!
