Thank you! Your most precious asset is your time, and you freely share that in service with us.
As I’m writing this, the staff and volunteers in the office today are calling our volunteers on stand-by for deployment to invite them to a briefing meeting tonight so they can deploy to Louisiana in the morning. When I started this journey on July 31st, I couldn’t have envisioned so much devastation in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, the USVI, and Las Vegas. Through this, I have experienced the work of the Red Cross firsthand. And I couldn’t be more proud to be the Executive Director in this chapter.
Many of you have deployed to other areas over the past two months. Others have made those deployments possible by continuing the work on a daily basis in Middle Tennessee. Your work matters; it impacts our community and our neighbors across this country that are experiencing monumental disasters. It also matters at home. To the family that loses their home in a fire, that disaster is no less monumental than those that have lost their homes in a hurricane.
Please remember that we are grateful for your service and we want you to feel like this is your home. Our office is open and you are welcome in this place. We are already making progress on this journey together. Looking forward to what the future holds!
With gratitude,
Kathy Ferrell
Executive Director, Heart of Tennessee Chapter
