VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Congratulations to our Volunteers of the Month Erin and Larry Hermann! Erin and Larry contacted MADD back in 2018, after losing their son Kyle in a drugged driving crash. Pretty much immediately, they wanted to do all they could to prevent this type of tragedy from happening to others. Only 8 months later, they started sharing Kyle’s story at our Victim Impact Panels. The courage and strength that takes is unimaginable. Since then, they have spoken at countless impact panels, schools, businesses and press conferences. They have manned tables for us at National Night Out and the Boat Show up at Mohegan Sun. They have been there to support any and every event they can possibly attend. Larry has shown up at our lobby days and events to recruit new volunteers, just to support us. Erin has leant her experience and knowledge to creating and presenting a seminar on Grief for our victims and survivors. And their advocacy does not stop at the state level. They have been worked hard in the War Room with our National Office on the Halt Act to stop impaired driving all together. We wish we never had to meet you both in the way that we did, but we are glad you found your way to MADD Connecticut so we could be a small part in how you honor Kyle every day.
