Jan Belote
Joining the Pioneers in 1986, Jan has been on every committee at the
council level. She is currently serving as president for a third term of
the Richmond Council. Jan served on the chapter level as environmental
chair and promoted a very successful poster contest for elementary
schools. She also served as education chair for the chapter and council,
and has kept track of volunteer hours for several years. She is
currently working with the chapter president on the pilot National
Environmental project.
Jan was very involved with a project at a school constructing raised beds in which to plant herbs. The children learned a lot about the environment. Jan volunteers with the YMCA and at a domestic violence shelter. She takes surplus food from chapter and council meetings to local shelters. She works with animal shelters and even adopted a cat from Mississippi after Katrina. She orders and delivers dictionaries to schools, recycles plastic rings, plants trees at the D-Day Memorial, volunteers and is an officer at "Friends of the Library," works with TOPS, the credit union and her church group. Jan can be seen at most every work location in her area hosting membership drives. She has been actively involved in PALS training at several councils. Jan has one of the most successful fundraising councils in the chapter. The chapter has a matching fund account where any council fundraising done for education/domestic violence is matched by the chapter. Jan has received certificates from schools, libraries, credit unions and animal shelters for the volunteer work she has done with these organizations. Jan always gets in there and gets down and dirty; she is not afraid of hard work. Jan truly shows the spirit of Pioneering in every way. |
