Newport/Mesa ProLiteracy 2018 Volunteer of the Year
Literally
Speaking: Jan/Feb 2019
Ray
Johnston has been with the program for six months and has been proactive in
suggesting changes to improve NMPL.
Ray has been an integral part in creating changes to our Assessment process
which will be more user-friendly and accurate so that we can properly identify
the needs of those who turn to our program.
For several years, Ray managed the UCLA campus bookstore. He has worked as a
design and organizational consultant with an administration and program
development background. Ray has brought these skills to NMPL after researching
volunteer opportunities in the area and attending many events at the Newport
Beach Public Library. Other than his work at NMPL, he has volunteered to raise
funds for breast cancer and cervical cancer research, and worked with youth as
a counselor in various camp programs in Texas and Colorado.
When
Ray is not volunteering, you can find him at long lunches with friends, out and
about admiring sculpture and design, or curled up reading some of his favorite
authors, Bill Bryson or Roger Lowenstein.
"I volunteer to help the community and to find joy in life. I've also had
the good fortune to meet many wonderful people and to make new friends."
