Volunteer Spotlight: Larry and Gwen Scilley

Larry and Gwen Scilley have two daughters, five grandchildren, enjoy traveling, theater, musicals, singing in their church choir, and giving back to their community. After 33 years in the development lab at IBM, retirement afforded Larry the chance to join the Rochester Kiwanis Day Makers.

This year, Larry celebrates his 25th anniversary with the club! For nearly all those years, Larry and Gwen have been volunteering together delivering Meals on Wheels. Larry said he appreciates the opportunity to volunteer with his wife.

After many years of delivering Meals on Wheels, Larry stepped into the role of coordinating other club members to deliver their weekly route. Often picking up additional substitute Meals on Wheels routes, Larry said he enjoys subbing and seeing different parts of the city. "The need is there. It's satisfying to give back and I'm able to!"
