9 vie for 2 makeovers Online voting begins By Susan MisurThe Daily Item Adam Tarin works as a pharmaceutical reimbursement coordinator at Geisinger Medical Center helping low-income patients unable to afford life-sustaining medications to get prescription drugs at little or no cost. Tarin has also spent time volunteering at animal shelters, political events and, as a musician, has performed at no cost for fundraising events. He frequently volunteers his time to help friends and neighbors work on their homes when they are unable to afford to hire someone to do it.
Sherri Heckman considered getting laser vision correction, but fell ill during pregnancy, giving birth to her son 13 weeks prematurely. She recovered quickly, spent several months with her son at the hospital, leaving work for five months. Her family's finances didn't allow for extras. Heckman volunteers with the March of Dimes at the Janet Weis Children's Hospital and helps other premature babies and their families. She joined a Women's Club, collecting donations for children with cleft palates overseas. With dental bills for her 3-year-old son, Heckman must delay LASIK vision correction. John Rowe, 28, teaches gymnastics at L.A.R.A., donating at least four hours a week. When he's not teaching, he plays at the park, meeting lots of kids, trying to make their day by doing back flips. He volunteered for four months helping out District Attorney Pete Johnson to gain experience in the legal field. Many may not know Rowe by name, but those watching December's Lewisburg Victorian Parade will see John dressed as Peter Pan doing flips. John never objects to making time for children because one of his biggest goals in life is to set a good example for them.
