Dear Spirit of the Vineyard Committee,
I would like you to consider Nancy Cabot for the Spirit of the Vineyard Award.

Nancy has volunteered at Windemere Nursing and Rehab Center for over 20 years. Nancy teaches Art twice a month. She has been devoted to the Windemere residents. Nancy has created an Art program that benefits all of the residents, from the most independent residents to those suffering with the challenges of Dementia. She is patient and compassionate with each resident.

Nancy has also volunteered for many years at the Up Island Council on Aging where she teaches painting and drawing to many of our Island Elders.

Nancy (along with her late sister,Judy Bryant) volunteered every summer for 12
years to organize and facilitate the Windemere Residents Auction. The Auction raised a great deal of money year which benefited the residents recreation fund.

Nancy is a giving, caring and hardworking member of our community. She has given so much to the elderly of our community. It would be wonderful to be able to give back now to Nancy. She is very deserving of the Spirit of the Vineyard Award. Thank you
