Megan LaBounty
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Volunteer of the Month
September 2010
Our September Volunteer of the Month is Megan LaBounty from Forney, TX! Megan has been a member since 2008 and is an incredible, dedicated volunteer photographer and Area Coordinator.
"Not only is Megan LaBounty a wife and mother with her own photography business, she is also NILMDTS Area Coordinator and photographer who has a heart for bereaved families. She often takes calls when no one else can.
This summer, we had a time when we were receiving several calls a day and it was difficult to find photographers. Megan did 3 or 4 NILMDTS sessions in a single 24-hour period, and I bet that she did that more than once and didn't tell anyone.
One time, Megan was on her way out of town for well deserved family vacation and it appeared that we would not be able to find NILMDTS photographers for some families. When Megan realized that that no photographers were available, she delayed her vacation to help them. Here is her email update sent from her Blackberry on the way out of town about the sessions:
"We were suppose to be leaving for Alabama an hour ago (kids sleep better in the car) but we are delaying it. I just pulled into Baylor and will do the baby here and then run up to Presby Dallas and do the baby there. Then we will head for Alabama. So no need for Baylor downtown and Presby Dallas. Thanks".
Even while she was on vacation, she fielded NILMDTS phone calls and found photographers to help bereaved families in Dallas. Megan has a heart of gold and is a tireless NILMDTS volunteer and promoter."

Please accept our sincerest thanks, Megan, for being such a dedicated volunteer and always going above and beyond to serve families in need.
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Volunteers!
The Process for choosing the Volunteer of the Month
The Co-Founders select the Volunteer of the Month by considering many deciding factors including -- Nominations from families, hospitals and fellow photographers
- The nominee’s established leadership in their community
- And their hard work following the necessary guidelines within NILMDTS including completion and logging of consent forms.
Nominations should be e-mailed to headquarters@nilmdts.org with the subject line of "VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH NOMINATION". The Headquarters Office will accept nominations at any time throughout the month.
Each NILMDTS Volunteer of the Month receives a congratulatory plaque which can be proudly displayed in their studios as well as a profile here throughout the month of their award.
This is a wonderful way for us here at NILMDTS to recognize the outstanding achievements and the giving nature of ourvolunteer base.
Thank you to each and every one of you!
