| Member of the Month: December Edition Shirl, member since 2022 Each month, the members vote to see who will be chosen as the “Member of the Month.” For that month, the chosen member will get to eat lunch first every day, have a special lunch with the executive director at a restaurant of their choosing, and have a social media profile. They will also serve as a “first friend” to help new members as they acclimate to the Center. Shirl has been a member for a very short amount of time. She has shown in her short time as a member the kind of attitude of gratitude we love to see in members. She participates in a variety of activities, helps out with chores and projects, and loves to be part of the giving culture of the Center. We are delighted to name Shirl the December Member of the Month. Congratulations, Shirl!  What is something you like about Arch Street Center? I feel so welcome here. I love it.
