Person submitting praise: Cristy D. Harms, SHIBA Coordinator, Jackson County Oregon
Volunteer name: Al Haas
County: Jackson
Congrats and a big thank you, to Al Haas, volunteer for Jackson County. He’s been with us for a year now and started his SHIBA work right at the beginning of Part D open enrollment period. Al was able to jump right in and begin counseling clients and lending a hand when and wherever needed. He recently designed a poster for our local program and has become a very valuable asset to our group. We appreciate all of your hard work!

Volunteer name: Karen Burrell
County: Linn
I just returned from visiting my parents in Albany, Oregon. During the two weeks I was there I was able to switch my mother to a new health insurance policy that not only provides her with much better coverage but also saves my parents approximately $6,000/yr thanks to the help of SHIBA volunteer Karen Burrell. Karen met with us twice and provided us with much needed expertise. She was a delight to work with and helped me through a rather difficult process with charm and good humor.
Your agency provides a much-needed service. Thank you very much.

Person submitting praise: Susan K.
Volunteer name: Doreen Stenson
County: Washington
Doreen was wonderful in helping my mother-in-law. Very kind and patient with someone who needed help. She met several times with her and also with the two of us. Your organization is very helpful in helping to guide all of us through a very confusing and not so user-friendly but necessary government system. Thank you Doreen.

Bob was extremely knowledgeable. He clearly explained a problem that I have been trying to sort out for many months. This was immensely helpful. I greatly appreciate this service. Bob is a great asset to the service!

Person submitting praise: Martha Anderson
Volunteer name: John Block
County: Benton County
The combination of Mr. Block's expertise as a retired OSU pharmacy professor, his own life experiences, and his SHIBA volunteer training resulted in excellent class sessions for "Medicare 101." I'm learning all this to help my aging mother and Mr. Block made what seemed impossible to understand both understandable and accessible! Thanks so much!

Person submitting praise: Beth Jackson, SHIBA Administrator for Clatsop, Tillamook, Marion, Polk and Yamhill Counties
Volunteer(s) name: Barbara Campbell, Bill Sandhu, and Gretta Bruinsma
County: Marion and Yamhill Counties
I would like to express my tremendous THANKS to Barbara, Bill and Gretta! As a local SHIBA Volunteer Coordinator, I realize that the SHIBA program would not be where it is without phenomenal, dedicated volunteers! Our SHIBA program is excited to be welcoming many new volunteers in 2008. In 2007 though, we experienced a volunteer shortage.
Barbara, Bill and Gretta really stepped up to the plate to make sure all persons were served. THANK YOU!

Person submitting praise: Cristy D. Harms, SHIBA Coordinator, Jackson County Oregon
Volunteer name: Jackson County SHIBA Volunteers
County: Jackson County
I cannot single out any one volunteer because they each do a magnificent job, not only with the clients they help, but with one another in the group. Each volunteer uses their own unique way of counseling and is always mindful of sharing their experiences and information with the others to keep the group up to date and informed. When one volunteer is ill or just needs more info to help a client, others are willing to jump in and help and moments notice.
I'm proud to know each of these volunteers and appreciate all they do for our Jackson County community!
