🏆 2022 Volunteer of the Year for OMFA – Donna Russett

Nominated by Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise.

DONNA RUSSETT:

🌟President of the Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise for 17 years.

🌟46 years on the executive, “Her unswerving commitment to The Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise for the past 46 years has been admirable and a true testament of devotion.
