Profiles
Dan
Roberts can often be heard saying, “How can I help?”
We always have an answer for that!
He
has become one of our most versatile volunteers, sharing his numerous
talents and skills with us in a variety of ways. With his experience
in computer technology and corporate efficiency, he has done everything
from solving equipment and software problems to computer training
for our staff. An accomplished writer (you may have seen some of
his great letters to the editor), Dan has also helped us by researching
and authoring articles for the Upstate Update, our monthly newsletter.
Thank
you, Dan, for all that you do for us!
Gail
Clark is not what one would call a career volunteer. Just the opposite,
in fact: she is quite particular about where she donates her time
and talents. But when she stumbled across a newspaper article last
year about Upstate Forever, she knew right away that this was a
cause that she could get on board with.
“I
firmly believe in what you all are doing,” Gail says. “One
hundred percent.” So much so that she happily took on a tedious
but important task: clipping newspaper articles about issues of
concern to Upstate Forever staff. Every week, she sends a neatly
organized folder of selected information around the office, keeping
our staff up to date on Upstate issues and events.
Thank
you, Gail!

“Jay
and I are grateful for the thorough job Upstate Forever does to
encourage responsible development and natural resource protection.
The organization truly understands the obligation we have to our
descendents to protect our land, air and water.”
