June 2018 Family of the Month - Michael and Anne Downes

The Family of the Month for June are Michael and Anne Downes.  I think you all know that Brother Bob Honzik recently spearheaded a program that collected comfortable chairs for the newly-refurbished rooms in Fletcher Hall, the diocesan retreat center in Little Rock.  More than 40 of these large pieces of furniture were donated.  One problem: How do we get them to Little Rock?  Here’s where Michael and Anne stepped in.  They are owner/operators of Village Movers and they donated their truck and their own labor to get the chairs to Fletcher Hall.  This was a huge project and, as Bob said, we couldn’t have gotten it done without them.

By the way, Village Movers has helped us on similar projects many times over the years. Michael became a Knight in 1995 and has served as a council officer.  Michael and Anne are both members of the Hot Springs Village Chamber of Commerce and the Community Foundation.  Anne is a registered nurse and a member of our Perpetual Adoration Team.
