When you are a non-profit, it is often understood that volunteerism is the core of what makes the engine run. But also, community connections. We tend to get into the practice of doing; often not seeking recognition but doing the job because it needs to be done. However, it is always great to know that people who you have supported see the efforts that you have made and want to acknowledge that. It is with great pride that we celebrate our Marketing Director,  Sharon Morris on receiving the honor from the city of Gonzales as CITIZEN OF THE YEAR. This award is prestigious award given by the mayor’s office of Gonzales. We are ecstatic that this area can experience the hard work that we see every day. It is with highest regard that we, The Arc of East Ascension, Executive Director, Raven LaBiche and the Board of Directors of this agency, we give a formal congratulations to our own, Sharon Morris for being the recipient of this honor. Congratulations and continue to be an ambassador of services and support for this agency and the people in this community.
