I would like to submit the name of Kevin Alderson for the Member of the Month
Award. Kevin is a driver for WILS (West Central Independent Living
Center). This may have been a job 3 years ago when he started driving for
the club bringing members from Warrensburg and Sedalia to our monthly
meetings. He became a part of our club and a friend, joking and laughing
making his trips to Sedalia a real joy. Kevin goes the extra mile.
He has taken us to camp, convention, board meetings, and anywhere else we need
to go. While at convention, he has gone to the train station, Wal-Mart,
and out to eat. Kevin never complains about anything we ask him to
do. The first part of March, he took 7 bowling. He always has a
smile and is ready to help. Kevin isn’t just our driver, he also is the
luggage handler, human G P S to our rooms, meetings, and back to our own home
safely. Thank you for considering Kevin for the Member of
the Month.</span></b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif";
