Interview with Linda Killian

Today I am talking with Linda Killian. A mother who has helped her children grow through “Making a Difference in the World.” Linda is the mother of 4 daughters and one son. Her children have spent years volunteering.

In 2008 I heard Barbara J. Danforth, President and CEO of the YWCA Greater Cleveland, explain the concept of “Volunteerism as a Tool for Leadership.” Upon my return to Wilmington, I read an article in the STARNEWS by Amanda Greene. The article was an interview with Rick Recht. In the article was a discussion of Tikkun Olam. This “making a difference in the world ,“ which was also discussed in Cleveland, has given me opportunities to think about people that I appreciate for their efforts.

Linda Killian has been a person that I have watched as she has led her children to adulthood. At the preschool her children were great volunteers----dependable, caring, helpful! They joined in, shared, and contributed to our program.
