Favorite thought for the day:
"I am a little pencil in the hand of God who is sending a love letter to the world. He does the thinking. He does the writing. He does everything and sometimes it is really hard because it is a broken pencil and He has to sharpen it a little more. He does the writing. The pencil has nothing to do with it."
- Mother Teresa

Tonya Townsend,
Full-Time Van Driver

Tonya joined the Senior Center in 2021 as the administrative assistant but found her calling in senior transportation. Tonya is a hard worker willing to jump in and help wherever she's needed.
