At Robyne’s Nest, Linda has the important job of making the students feel loved and appreciated by filling and delivering goody bags to them for holidays and birthdays as well as care packages to get them through testing/finals at school. She and Bill also host a much-anticipated annual holiday party for the students in their beautiful home. Linda is also responsible for sending out birthday and anniversary cards to the Robyne’s Nest volunteers.
