Medical Alliance Names Volunteers of the Year Marquette, Michigan—The Marquette-Alger County Medical Society Alliance has named Emily Lewis and Lynn Moon as Outstanding Volunteers of the Year. Both were honored not only for their volunteer work with the Alliance, but with many other community organizations as well. “Emily has the gifts of hospitality and organization in great abundance,” says nominator Shirley Eppinga. “People love to work with her because of these two traits. She can get the job done right the first time, and make it fun to work together.” Lewis, a Registered Nurse, is membership chairman for the Alliance and has also served as hospitality chairman and in other capacities over the past 10 years. During that time she has also served on the Marquette Beautification and Restoration Committee Board of Directors. For Marquette General Health System she volunteers in the coffee shop and sews post-surgical masectomy comfort pillows. She volunteers in several positions at St. Michael’s Church, is the eucharistic minister at Brookridge Heights, and bakes for the Keryx Prison Ministry, charity bazaars and school functions. Lewis has also served the P.E.O. Sisterhood for many years, helping to raise funds for low-income women to continue their education. Lewis, of Marquette, and her husband, Dr. Larry Lewis, have three daughters. Of Outstanding Volunteer Lynn Moon, nominator Laurie Winkler says, “Every organization she belongs to benefits from her talents and enthusiasm.” And her talents are many. Moon is a registered nurse and self-employed attorney, specializing in health-care employment contracts, nursing licensure issues and nonprofit law. She has served the Alliance in many capacities, from president to treasurer to health promotion coordinator, and is currently Northwest Regional Director of the State Board. She is president of Girl Scouts of Peninsula Waters, where she leads “extreme adventure” trips and serves as Clear Lake Camp nurse for two weeks each summer. She was also instrumental in organizing the first Women’s Winter Health & Fitness Expo in conjunction with the Women’s Ski Tour. In addition, Lynn is vice president of 4C of the U.P, president-elect and legislative advocate of Marquette General Hospital Volunteers and is a member of the Peter White Public Library Board of Trustees.
