VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Carol Gengler

   Carol Gengler has been volunteering with Free Rein since September 2010.  She started volunteering because her sister was volunteering and she told Carol that she thought she would like it.  After all, Carol loves both horses and kids.
    Her favorite part of being at Free Rein is the wonderful atmosphere.  She loves Sandy and Lisa and feels that there is a "wonderful camaraderie".  She is always impressed with how often she hears volunteers offering to help others as everyone gets ready for class.
     If you know Carol, you know she loves to bake. All of us are beneficiaries of that talent as Carol brings something yummy with her every time she comes. The homemade cookies sitting by the sign in sheet are from Carol. Something you might not know is that she likes to paint.  She paints ceramic figurines, often giving them as gifts and she also paints garbage cans. Yes, I said garbage cans; for weddings, she has painted garbage cans with the wedding colors so "even the garbage cans are pretty". As they should be.
   Carol's favorite Free Rein horse is Chester (although she thinks they are all sweet). Chester reminds her of her horse, Scottie.  Scottie was a white Pony of America with polka dots. He was the only horse in the pasture to come when called.  She spent many years riding bareback on him.
   Thank you Carol for your dedication to Free Rein. Thank you for your delicious cookies, and thank you so much for sharing your kind spirit with us all!
