Gen Micali
Mohegan Sun VP Development Paul Brody, with Gen McCali and Victoria Nimirowski
The April 2007 winner was Gen McCali, who was nominated by Victoria Nimirowski, executive director of the Windham Area Interfaith Ministry, and WAIM volunteer Barbara Sayer. The nomination said:
Since her retirement, Gen McCali has been a loyal volunteer at WAIM for the past 17 years, and at the Red Cross for 15. I don't know anyone who takes their job as seriously as she does. Even though we don't pay her a dime, Gen shows up for work every day that WAIM is open to the public - three to four days a week. She knows many of our clients and treats them like old friends, and she treats everyone with dignity and respect. She certainly is a ray of sunshine each time she enters our doors, and it would mean a great deal to her to be recognized for her commitment and compassion to our community.
