Heart of Tennessee Volunteers:
“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the
ocean. But the ocean would be less
because of that missing drop.” - Mother
Teresa
It has certainly been a very busy
few months. Each of you have contributed
to making sure we serve our communities, responding to fire/flood calls,
providing trainings for existing and new volunteers, and making sure the office
is always fully operational. In addition
to living our Mission, we hosted a very successful Heroes Breakfast. This event was held Wednesday, February 21st,
and honored Dr. Sidney McPhee and Middle Tennessee State University. Dr. McPhee is a supporter of our work and has
his own Red Cross story as a shelter partner for hurricane evacuees. Last year’s honoree, John Hood, introduced
Dr. McPhee, highlighting the Mission of the Red Cross along with Dr. McPhee’s
community engagement. Each of our five
past honorees were in attendance and they were all very pleased with the
event. Thank you so much to those of you
who had the opportunity to attend. This event serves as our signature
fundraiser, allowing us the opportunity to raise the dollars that we need to
carry out our Mission.
Thanks to your service, the
future is very bright for Heart of Tennessee.
I look forward to a phenomenal March!
With gratitude,
Kathy
