Beauty in Motion
April is a time for new beginnings. With the beauty of April comes a feeling of
excitement as our Red Cross chapter continues moving forward with our mission. We have new volunteers willing to give,
learn, and grow with us through this process. New relationships with community partners are growing as they take on
our vision in the community. Our
dedicated volunteers are keeping a watchful eye on the weather and are ready to
respond as needed in their communities.
The TN River chapter covers a large area, 12 counties plus
Fort Campbell, and a population of around 485,000 individuals. It is a big job, a huge responsibility, but is
it worth the challenge. I get to watch
every day as both our new and seasoned volunteers embrace their
communities! As we work toward having
two Disaster Action Teams in each of our counties, we continue to serve with
our mission in mind all the way down to the Alabama state line.
With the sights and sounds of a new season, come a new commitment and a new zest for helping
this organization stay strong not only today but in the future. As I watch the flowers bloom, I’m reminded of
the beauty of the mission of the Red Cross. Each petal representing a line of service, but together as a whole, “One
Red Cross,” one beautiful, fragrant flower!
There is nothing more beautiful than the flowers that bloom
this time of year except for this: Seeing the hearts that open up and share the
mission with those in need….now that is beauty in motion!!
