Story 2009 UNITED WAY ANNOUNCES 2009 CAMPAIGN CO-CHAIRS
Born and raised in the Emeryville/Belle River area, Tammy moved to Chatham permanently in 1995. All of her extended family is from the Chatham area. Shawn was born in London and spent a number of years in Blenheim, London and then eventually moved back to Chatham. His extended family resides primarily in the London/Grand Bend area. Tammy has been a Board Member with Big Brothers Big Sisters of C-K and for the past four years served as their Vice President. She is a recent member of United Way’s Women’s Leadership Council and for many years has helped organize and lead Union Gas volunteer teams in several community Helping Hands activities. She is a volunteer with United Way’s Good Neighbors Program - especially the fall Operation Cover Up project – and has worked to support food drives, parade floats and fundraising. This year, Shawn Mungar celebrates 20 years with the Chatham-Kent Police Services. His career has included Community Patrol, Police Dog Services handler, Criminal Investigations, Street Crimes and he is currently an Acting Sergeant. He has been a member of the Police Association Executive for the past 5 years. He has been the liaison officer for East Side Pride, co-chaired the recent Citizens’ Police Academy, and is always willing to take on “various roles to assist and support his fellow members”. Tammy and Shawn have three girls. Rebecca in London, is their 17 year old, finishing high school, and looking forward to attending one of the four universities where she has been accepted. She plans on entering an education program. Rebecca also loves theater and this year she helped to successfully stage manage an entire production! Alexandria is a 10 year old super hockey fan. She enjoys
most sports – hockey and baseball being her two favorites - and
is a “fierce wall of defense” for the Chatham Outlaws. Rebecca, Alexandria and Carly have Tammy and Shawn’s full support be it hockey, baseball or just camping out and the Mungar girls are all very active with Tammy and Shawn in the community. They have helped with various landscaping and community improvement projects, the Chatham Minor Ball Association, and running the canteen at the Big Sisters Wedding Show every January. In addition, for two years they have helped welcome and host Christina from Chernobyl. It is very clear - helping others is a part of the entire family's way of life. Carly and Alexandria wrote a poem that demonstrates this year's theme and message: Now more than ever … Now more than ever … Now more than ever … |
