RSVP Volunteers Support the Arts in Abilene

1/5

A group of incredible RSVP volunteers came together to support the Abilene Cultural Affairs Council by packing over 900 arts and crafts kits—all in just under three hours! The energy was high as staff and volunteers shared laughs, swapped stories, and enjoyed donuts and coffee while working side by side. It was a fun and productive morning filled with community spirit, teamwork, and lots of smiles.

We're grateful for the volunteers’ hard work and heart, and we’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to serve together!

Celebrating Max Ann Bowlin: A Legacy of Service

RSVP volunteers, staff, and friends gathered at Meals on Wheels Plus to celebrate the retirement of Max Ann Bowlin, RSVP Coordinator and dedicated community advocate who has served the Big Country area for over 14 years. The event was filled with laughter, heartfelt memories, delicious cake, and a spread of hors d’oeuvres—all in honor of someone who has made a lasting impact on the lives of so many.

Max Ann's passion and commitment to volunteerism have inspired countless others. Her send-off was a true reflection of the love and appreciation she’s earned over the years. While she’ll be missed, we’re excited for what’s ahead as she plans to travel, explore, and stay active in this next chapter.

Thank you, Max Ann, for everything—you've left a beautiful mark on this community!
