How, when, and why did you become involved with Florence Crittenton Services?
My wife, Donna Sorensen, taught at Florence Crittenton High School from 1991 through 2004 and always included me in her school activities.
In what capacity do you volunteer with Florence Crittenton Services?
Around 1995, I began taking photos at graduation and sharing the prints with the graduates. Since then, we have photographed almost every graduation. We expanded our work to include prom, senior portraits, family photo days, Cycles of Success events, pictures with Santa, Miles for Moms, and other special events.
We share the images with the students, family and friends. The school staff have used the images for advertising, newsletters and other promotions.
What is your favorite part of volunteering with Florence Crittenton Services?
I have an opportunity to make a gesture of kindness and support for the young women of Florence Crittenton Services. Their lives and their accomplishments deserve to be commemorated.
