Members of MRC’s Executive Team can count on finding a little handwritten card of encouragement in their mailbox every month with the same name written at the bottom of the note, Alyce Anne Baggett. Alyce Anne has played a major role in the MRC organization since she joined the volunteer Board of Directors in 2010. During her time on the Board she served on many committees and even served as Vice Chair, as well as Board President.
But Alyce Anne has been an influencer at the local level for even longer than that. As a Lufkin native, she first got involved at PineCrest in 2003 when her mother became a resident. At the time, she was living four hours away working in Austin and recalled how comforting it was to know her mother was safe and cared for at PineCrest, “PineCrest is unlike any other place in the area because the employees who work there are fully bought in to the mission statement of MRC. It’s not a job, it’s a calling. They always treated my mother like she was their mother. That’s why I had such peace knowing she was there. To me, PineCrest is love! It represents love, care, and protection for those I love.”
Alyce Anne describes her own calling to serve MRC as a way to pay it forward saying, “I wanted to serve on the Board because I knew that this was my opportunity to give back to other families, all across the State, what PineCrest had given to me. The same sense of love, care, and protection.”
Alyce Anne recently completed her term as Board President, which prompted a time of recognition and gratitude at a recent Board meeting. Alyce Anne was presented with an engraved gavel along with kind words of appreciation from Alan Brown, CEO, “Alyce Anne has seen MRC through seasons of growth and change. Her wisdom and passion have been a source of steadiness for the organization, we are so thankful for her many years of dedicated service.”
Thank you Alyce Anne!
