SALLY T. VOGEL<br />

Sally Vogel was educated as a social worker with a minor in psychology. She<br />

continued her education to receive a master’s degree in Pupil Personnel Services.<br />

From 1970 to 1984, she served as part-time school social worker for Delaware<br />

Valley Regional High School. Overlapping a portion of that time period, she performed<br />

the duties of guidance counselor for the Holland Township school system.<br />

A current resident of St. Clair Shores, MI, Sally Vogel immersed herself in various<br />

community activities that gained her friends the length and breadth of <strong>Hunterdon</strong> during<br />

her many years in the county. Her constant and continuous concern for the singleparent<br />

child with whom she came in daily contact caused her to realize a need for<br />

special friendship and counseling on a continuing basis. It was this interest in the<br />

single-parent child and the emotional problems particular to the child that inspired her to<br />

found the <strong>Hunterdon</strong> Big Brothers and Sisters, a non-profit organization that matches<br />

children with the missing influence of a father or mother figure.<br />

Big Brothers and Sisters serves to offer friendship to children in need of attention.<br />

Volunteers agree to visit a certain child for a long period of time, sharing special trips<br />

and fun times. The outcome is confidence-building for the child.<br />

Sally is to be congratulated for having left <strong>Hunterdon</strong> a better, more caring place.<br />
