We are proud to award LB White with the Knight of the Year award.
This 85 yr old dynamo makes all of the members look like they are in slow motion. He is active in several food banks, collections food, distributing food and helping out with the material needs of each. He is expecially fold of Genesis and has the Council collecting towels, wash cloths and suppleis for their shower service to the homeless. He is a regular visitor to Hope Womens center to find out what they need and find a way to serve that need. He collects glasses for the Lions Club and clothing etc for the Purple Heart Desert Thrift. He organized a drive in the Parish to collect plastic bottle caps that are melted down and sold to collect money for medicine for cancer patients in the slums of Mexico. He makes the rounds collecting caps and then delivering to MeHug to interface with Doctors without Borders. I know from personal experience that if I have ANYTHING I would like to donate, he will find a home for it. I know this above list is not all iclusive and what I do know is that he has dedicated over 250 hrs a year, travelled over 500 miles per year and raised over $5,000.00 for his charities.
