We are thrilled to announce and honour Joan Bona as our 2026 Volunteer of the Year!
Joan wears many hats, often all at once, with humility and never seeking recognition. As President and Secretary of the Catholic Women's League (CWL), Chair of the Fleur de Lis Seniors Historical Committee, and a lead organizer of the 175th Anniversary of Louisdale celebrations, Joan is an active member of the community.
From organizing and preserving archival materials for the Historical Committee to chairing the 175th Louisdale Anniversary Committee and everything in between, Joan’s passion for contributing to her community is exceptional. She completes each task with local pride.
Please join us in recognizing Joan for her hard work, dedication, and commitment to her community.
We thank you for all you do for Richmond County.
