Club board members announced
The LaFayette Woman’s Club held its awards luncheon on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
Member Theresa Dorsey received her five-year service pin and was awarded the prestigious Club Appreciation award. This award is chosen by the members of the LaFayette Woman’s Club to the one woman who has gone above and beyond in her club work.
Club President Rachel Oesch Willeford said Dorsey’s years of service to the club are just part of the reason why she was chosen the club’s Woman of the Year.
“Theresa is dedicated to the club and the community. She works yearround at the city gardens at the LaFayette Recreation Center and the Marsh House. She donates produce from the garden to those in need in the community. Theresa is dedicated to making LaFayette a supportive community for everyone.”
Dorsey is the Environment Community Service chair for the LaFayette Woman’s Club, a Walker County substitute teacher, a volunteer at the Care Mission, a volunteer for the Friends of the LaFayette Library, a former Highland Club board member, and an active member of St. Gerard’s Catholic Church in Fort Oglethorpe where she plays the piano during mass. Theresa is married to Ron Dorsey and has two children and is soon to be a grandmother. Theresa enjoys the outdoors and loves her dog, Bonnie.
