“Your light may be the gentle, quiet light, that radiates hope to others around you.” Those profound words were articulated in Janine’s stirring speech, delivered during the CLC’s 2018 Award Ceremony. They still resonate in my mind. These words speak to Janine’s personality. Regardless of the occasion; a business assignment, a fund raiser, an education forum, a community or tourism venture, assisting a friend or stranger, Janine’s calm contagious generosity, passion and remarkable sense of hope are magnetic. What a woman to have on your team! Thank you, Janine. Phenomenal woman!
