Community Involvement 2004
Community Involvement
Andrea recognizes the importance of giving, whether it’s through charitable work, networking or helping others. She does this through her non-profit work at places such as Graceful Stitches and International Coach Federation of New England, where she is a Past President. She enjoys inviting others to participate in her giving programs – sharing the opportunity to see what is possible through involvement. Building relationships between and among people is one of Andrea’s values that she clearly honors. Here are some of the activities she is currently involved in:

Novakowski Family Gives Holiday Donations
Each year in the beginning of December, we sit down as a family to talk about giving to others. This year, our children, Jamie and Anna, once again chose Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (http://www.dana-farber.org/how/gifts) to receive our family’s gift. Why? Jamie said it quite well, “Rather than having one person or family benefit, we want to contribute to a cause that will impact advancement in a field. This has the potential to benefit many.”
We also selected two other Funds to support. My husband, Bill, chose the Ashland Emergency Fund. So many people are unable to pay for oil delivery, gas and electric heating bills and food that is nutritious and good for them. He feels this is a way to help with that situation.
The Fire Chief in Ashland is stationed in Iraq and it’s tough duty. He asked that residents help out by donating items for our soldiers in Iraq through The Federated Church in Ashland’s Operation Kee. We will be providing non-perishable food items, sun screen, all those things we take for granted back home.
