THANK YOU OLGC!

Thanks to the entire OLGC Community for their tremendous support of the grocery/gift card drive for the Committee for Helping Others (TO) Christmas Store to be held this December. OLGC contributed over $6800 in cards and donations, which will be used to give families in need a little extra for groceries and gifts during the holiday season. The parents who attend the CHO Christmas Store to receive help for their families so often express such happiness (and relief) at their ability to add a bit more to their limited holiday budgets. Thanks again for making Christmas brighter for them.

Peg Boag, longtime CHO volunteer, dies at 94

A CHO stalwart, Margaret Boag, or “Peg,” passed away on August 18, in Knoxville Tennessee, at age 94. A longtime member of Vienna Presbyterian Church, Peg spent over 40 years helping our neighbors in Vienna and the surrounding areas. Her first volunteer job with CHO was scheduling transportation for people needing rides to medical appointments.

Peg next served as CHO Emergency Services Coordinator, an important job she handled by herself for many years. Her early training in psychology prepared her well for this job. Peg listened to clients’ problems with compassion like your mother or good friend, and provided monetary assistance or referrals to other community resources when needed. She also gave valuable advice and assistance to new CHO volunteers and to the CHO Board, and she established a CHO fund to cover purchases of underwear (or necessary items) for the CHO Christmas store.

Peg’s husband predeceased her. She had two children, Jean and John, and moved to Knoxville Tennessee a few years ago to be closer to them.

A memorial service will be held at Vienna Presbyterian Church in the Chapel on Thursday, September 26 at 1:00 pm.
