Meet our Director of Hospitality

John Wesley began volunteering at the District Office in October 2008 at the tender age of five months. He loves to cuddle and play with visitors to the office, and is considered the favorite staff member by many. Wesley says, "I know that some people may be allergic to me or uncomfortable with me in the office. If you are one of those people, please let my personal assistant (Betty) know and she will let me rest in my special room while you are visiting. My feelings won’t be hurt at all! I just want everyone to be happy and will do whatever is needed to make that happen." John Wesley has his own Facebook page and invites you to visit it by clicking on the box below. Email John Wesley
