June Member of the Month
Our June Member of the Month is 74-year-young Bill Stoops.
Bill has been an active Pearce member for more than 8 years. He serves on the Building Committee and volunteers for the Meals on Wheels program. He also spends time in the Selectorized equipment area and on the walking track.
Retired from the United States Air Force and Taylor University where he served as the Physical Plant Director, Bill is sure his wife benefits most from his involvement with Pearce because it gets him out of the house. He also is a trustee for his church, Mossville United Methodist; a volunteer driver for Chillicothe Township senior transportation, and membership chairman for the Chillicothe Lion’s Club.
But when he does go home, he loves to spend time with his kids and grandchildren, jet ski, and enjoy life on the Illinois river.
