Volunteer Spotlight: Vivian Davis

On May 1, HoTPCA members got together at a local assisted living facility to celebrate the Peace Corps service of Vivian Davis (South Africa, 2012-2014). At Vivian’s celebration, we met Vivian and her family and together we looked at pictures and artifacts from her amazing life. This was an amazing celebration for HoTPCA to be a part of, and we’re so thankful to the staff at The Harbor for inviting us to share in Vivian’s ceremony. Read more
