I met Betty at my retirement community, Robson Ranch. Betty established a charity called CORR/Community Outreach Robson Ranch. I work at The Heart of Eloy store which is an umbrella under CORR. It is a thrift store run by volunteers from Robson Ranch. Betty is gifted in PR work and has a kind attitude especially for children in need; and the need is great in Eloy.
