Spotlight on Volunteers

Evaline Thomas

For nearly two years, Evaline Thomas has been quietly assisting RVNA with office tasks as a volunteer.

Coming to Colorado from Missouri in 1961, she worked for the Department of Agriculture for 26 years.

Evaline beams when asked how she came to be a volunteer -- as she tells it, it was by divine providence. While occupied in the consumption of a Big Mac, Evaline had a chance meeting with Marcia Schaefer, the director of RSVP, an organization working with senior volunteers. After chatting with Marcia, Evaline signed up with the RSVP program and they put her in touch with Katherine Joyce.  

After nearly two years, Evaline says she looks forward to coming in to do filing and updating benefits manual records. Says Evaline, “The work I do here at RVNA adds value to my life. And I intend to volunteer until I’m no longer able.”

“She’s of great value to RVNA because of her organizational skills,” says Katherine. “Ask her to let you hear her ring tone (a giggling child) and you will understand her positive attitude.”

Thank you Evaline for all you do for RVNA.
