Our Very Own SAMMI

Our very own Jill Loveland was nominated & is now officially a “SAMMI“.  What’s a SAMMI?   A SAMMI is an individual that has a beneficial impact on our community, volunteering, giving and inspiring others to do likewise. A SAMMI demonstrates dedication, integrity, and caring, with a passion for doing what needs to be done. Their commitment and compassion serves as an example for us all.  Jill was honored as a SAMMI for the COMMUNITY SPIRIT award: a person (18 yrs. or older) who displays the highest level of volunteer commitment to the community by selflessly giving of their time and talents.

Jill selflessly dedicates herself to MOPS, CERT, her son’s school as an art docent, and coordinates the schools art walk.  For her dedication to our community, Jill is now the second SAMMI from MOPS (our own Mentor Mom, Carol Stamper being the other).  Congratulations Jill & may you inspire us all to give back to this wonderful community which we live in!
