Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Volunteer of the Month
June 2008Tasha Nicholls received praise and nominations for this honor from around the country!
Most of you know of Tasha's work from her constant presence on the NILMDTS Forum. The NILMDTS photographers in the Portland area rave "if only everyone was as fortunate as we are to have a 'Tasha' in their area!"
Tasha serves as a Parent Coordinator, assisting the photographers with families in any way possible. She is also a regular contributor to the Forum - both on the Family - and because she has Coordinator privileges - and on the Photographer side. Just a few years ago, Tasha might not have known what a "soft box" or "Photoshop" was but today she is proficient in many skills such as building extravagant graphics and video editing. Despite the fact that she has four children of her own, here are a few of the extraordinary services and items Tasha has provided to NILMDTS in a voluntary capacity:
* Complete redesign of the Photographer Recruitment Postcard
* Design of the NILMDTS Business Card
* Production from start to finish on the new NILMDTS Recruitment Video
* Design of the Volunteer of the Month plaque
Additionally, Tasha is working on the redesign of our NILMDTS Brochures - the staple found in nearly every hospital in the country. We're hoping to have the new brochures available in the near future. (Watch for e-blasts or news on the Forum.) Here at the NILMDTS Headquarters office, Tasha is practically an employee - although she does all of her work for free. With as little as an hour's notice, she'll draft up a graphic or a document for us - whatever we need. Our entire organization is fortunate to have folks like Tasha pouring their heart and soul into helping others through their personal talents.
Congratulations, Tasha!
Thank you!
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Volunteers!
