 Louise Mazzaro
Meet Louise Mazzaro, who began
volunteering in Winthrop's Gift Shop
in March 1977. Today, more than
three decades later, Ms. Mazzaro continues
to play a fundamental role in
the store, volunteering three days a
week - sometimes more - where she
serves as the shop's cashier, helps
with deposits and places candy
orders, among other things.
"Louise Mazzaro has distinguished
herself by her outstanding
contributions to the great success of
the Hospital's gift shop," explained
Carmela Anglim, CAVS, Director of
Volunteer Services at Winthrop. "She
has proven herself an invaluable
member of Winthrop's dedicated
corps of volunteers because she is
knowledgeable and skilled in all phases
of the gift shop's daily operation.
We are indeed fortunate to have
someone as capable, dependable and
hardworking as Louise on our team."
The ultimate expression of generosity is not in giving of
what you have, but in giving of who you are.
- Johnetta B. Cole
Ms. Mazzaro has helped Winthrop
remain the warm and welcoming
place that it is for the Long Island
community. "Louise has played a vital
role in Winthrop's Gift Shop for over
30 years, having completed more
than 33,500 hours of volunteer service,"
said Gift Shop Manager Laura
Grau. "She defines the true heart of
volunteering and is an extraordinary
person, volunteer and friend."
When asked what motivated her
to begin volunteering at the Hospital,
Ms. Mazzaro blissfully replied, "I
always loved to shop, so I was delighted
to accept a position in Winthrop's
Gift Shop.
"My husband didn't want me to
work full-time, but he said he didn't
mind if I volunteered. Little did he know
how much I was going to volunteer!"
According to Ms. Mazzaro, her
volunteering experience at Winthrop
has been quite rewarding. Through
her selfless service, she has not only
helped others, but also has made lifelong
friendships and memories.
"While volunteering at Winthrop,
I've enjoyed a lot of happy moments,"
she reflected. "The friendships that I
have built with both the staff and other
volunteers are priceless. I wouldn't
have missed this for anything!"
Louise Mazzaro currently resides in
West Hempstead. She has two daughters,
Theresa and Patricia, and beautiful
twin grandsons.
