February 2009
With approximately 500 Area Coordinators now serving as leaders in the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep program, we are fortunate to call our February 2009 Volunteer of the Month, Julia MacInnis, a shining star. Julia has worked hard to build a team and succeed at handing the ever-increasing requests for services that come into heavily populated areas. Julia serves as a Co-Area Coordinator with Marirosa Anderson for the greater Washington, DC area. "From the first session we did together at 2am I was touched by her simplicity and style," said Marirosa. "Julia's commitment to NILMDTS is evident in everything she does. Julia's focus on building this community continues to inspire all the photographers in our area and I am personally grateful everyday for having her be here as a coordinator." Given the recent profile featuring Julia and her team in the Washington Post, volunteers in the area know that with increased awareness of our organization comes an increase in requests. Our staff and leadership team at headquarters would like to thank Julia and the team in DC for their amazing dedication to this organization.

Congratulations, Julia! You are clearly due this honor!
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Volunteers!
