The Loving Arms Crisis Pregnancy Center board and staff hosted a "thank you" event for their volunteers, on Saturday afternoon at the Kiwanis Park pavilion on Lake Taylorville.

Over 30 board members, staff, volunteers and spouses attended the event, as a way to thank those who volunteered several thousand hours to the ministry in the past year.

3 people received special awards.  Center executive director Cathy Coker(left) received a plaque for 10 years of service, while volunteers Sue Boyd (center) and Cathy Miller (right) each received plaques for 5 years of volunteering at the Center.
