We were honored that our WoodmenLife President and CEO Denise McCauley could come to present our Chapter of the Year 2026 award. We also surprised the amazing Sylvia Newsome with our Fraternalist of the Year award for being the most outstanding 2026 volunteer in our region.

We are proud to help kids go back to school feeling prepared and cared for.

We want to extend a huge thank you to WoodmenLife - Chapter 16 for their generous $2,000 donation to Stephen Center’s Back-to-School Fund!

Sylvia, President of Chapter 16, was such a vibrant light and shared a beautiful reminder: when many hands come together, incredible things become possible. It’s through caring for one another and working as a COMMUNITY that we create meaningful CHANGE.

Thank you, Sylvia and the entire WoodmenLife Chapter 16 team, for your kindness, generosity, and commitment to making a difference! We can certainly see why Chapter 16 was named Chapter of the Year 😉 Congrats!
