USO Vicenza Volunteer of the Quarter Christine

Please join us in congratulating our 1t Quarter, 2021, Volunteer of the Quarter Cristine Swanson. Cristine moved to Italy from Hawaii about 2 years ago and currently resides here in Vicenza with her Husband Ed, children Ryan, Hayden, and Brooke and her fur baby Spooky. Christine definitely keeps herself busy. When she is not volunteering, Christine and her family like to travel throughout the country, try out new restaurants, and hold family game nights. She not only volunteers with the USO but also with the VCC, RSO, and many other organizations around the Vicenza Military Community. Christine has been particularly helpful in procuring and designing many of the prizes that the USO Vicenza gives away during our events. She is always on the lookout for sale items at the PX and Commissary that help us stretch our donor dollars. Lately Christine has been helping us with our events like Wake-up-Wednesday and Appreciation Bag Construction and has taken a large role in helping us with the coordination of our larger events with other community organizations. When asked why she volunteers Christine said, “Volunteering at the USO has been a great opportunity to meet new people and bring a smile to people’s faces.” Once again, we want to congratulate Christine on becoming the USO Vicenza Volunteer of the Quarter. We look forward to more great things that Christine has to offer to the USO Vicenza and the VMC.
