Junior League of Lufkin February Volunteer of the Month – Dessa Glass

Dessa Glass is a wonderful League lady that gives 110% to anything she commits to, and Junior League of Lufkin is just one of the organizations that shines because of her hard work. A fellow league member says “she is a good listener with silent strength.” With this strength, she has undertaken additional workload through her placement (that is still on-going) so that over 4000 children in our community had their vision successfully and correctly screened.

Dessa keeps on giving – to her family, to her friends and to our community!! When she gives of herself, she commits fully and completely. One friend said, “she is driven to be successful at anything she does, and she never does anything half-way!” Another friend said that “she is organized, dedicated, creative, gracious and amazing.” She is dedicated to her church, her kids AND their schools, serving as room mom often, and her commitment to our league. She also has numerous jobs – house manger, taxi driver, nurse, teacher, cheerleader and counselor…just to name a few. Her husband says “she put aside her personal ambitions to be the absolute best mother she can be and to ensure that her children have every opportunity to grow into successful, happy citizens.” She also loves to exercise and shop and cook. She completed the Houston Marathon, but has “marathoned at the Houston Galleria many times!”
