We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand
fibers connect us with our fellow-men; and along those fibers, as
sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as
effects.

Six essential qualities that

wisdom, charity. - William Menninger
Fayetteville Woman Named as Community Service
Recipient by Local DAR
L-R: Community Service Awards Chairman Carol Key,
Asden Johnson, and James Waldrop Chapter DAR Regent Betty Harrah
12/16/07 (9:40 p.m.) Asden Wolfe Johnson is known throughout the
county as the woman who volunteers.
She has volunteered in numerous areas in Fayetteville over the last 25 years.
Johnson organized the first Tour of Homes for her church as well
as the annual craft fair 18 years ago to give to local charities. As a breast
cancer survivor, she started a cancer support group in her church. She and her
husband's efforts spearheaded the beginning of a pre-school in their church. She
has served with the United Way, and participated in, and supported the Joseph
Sams School.
Johnson was the fund raising chairman, the secretary, Vice
President and President of the Youth Protection Home and was honored to have a
second home built named the Asden Johnson Home. She also joined efforts with
Eilene Patton and started the Thrift Shop, a not for profit organization, where
people can bring items to be sold back to the public. The money is divided
evenly between the Youth Protection Home and Promise Place, a home for battered
women. Over $1 million has been given to both groups.
As a token of appreciation to Johnson, she was named the first
recipient of a Community Service Award given by the James Waldrop Chapter
Daughters of the American Revolution.
