Lily the Lightning Bug Released into Community

Greg Maynard (left), Carey Services’ director of fund development, and Lisa Dominisse, executive director of Family Service Society, make sure Lily the Lightning Bug is comfortable as she settles in on her first community visit.

Lily the Lightning Bug is in the wild! The artists in the Creative Hearts Art Studio created Lily to commemorate the naming of Say’s Firefly as the official state insect last fall, and now she’s traveling the communities we serve raising awareness of the studio and Carey Services.

You can see Lily at Family Service Society, and while you’re there take a selfie and tag #lilythelightningbug and #FSSI for fun. We want to see who visits Lily and also get the word out.

Lily is available for display in local businesses and organizations of the communities we serve. Contact Greg Maynard, Carey Services’ director of fund development, to find out more information. You can reach him at (765) 668-8961, ext. 124, or gmaynard@careyservices.com.

Thank you also to Indiana Michigan Power Co., for supporting the artists in the Creative Hearts Art Studio in their artistic endeavors.

An INARF media release noted, “The INARF Leadership Academy is ‘a professional development program targeting employees who demonstrate a commitment to the future of our industry, leadership, and a strong drive to achieve greater levels of responsibility.’ ”

Jim Allbaugh, president and chief executive officer for Carey Services, noted, “We are very proud of Yolanda, her accomplishments, and her leadership in the communities we serve. Not only did Yolanda graduate from the INARF Leadership Academy last week, she also was recognized as a finalist for the INARF Pinnacle Award.”

The academy is INARF’s commitment to, and investment in, the development of leaders with high potential to positively impact industry growth and success. Allbaugh recommended Kincaid to be an academy participant. More information about the INARF Leadership Academy can be found at: www.inarf.org/leadership_academy.html
