Letter from Mid-West Tennessee Executive Director, David Hicks - June 2018

Hello Mid-West TN team!! Welcome to summer and all the fun memories I know each of you are beginning to create with your families through vacations, cook outs and community events. We had an awesome Heroes Luncheon recognition event on Tuesday, May 29th at Union University’s Carl Grant Center. Some of you were able to attend and enjoy the experience firsthand. I wanted to take a moment to congratulate our award recipients:

Volunteer of the Year: Meaghan Smith
Distinguished Service Award: Sue Vegors
Uniformed Hero Award: Dr. Mike Revelle
Humanitarian of the Year: Darryl Worley

Each of these award recipients embodies the qualities and characteristics that make our 14-county territory such a special place. There are so many people deserving of recognition in our chapter and community, but we couldn’t have chosen any better group than these!

I also want to be sure and highlight an important chapter accomplishment that took place in April and May. We reached our “Sound the Alarm” smoke alarm install goal of 350 for McNairy County! We installed alarms in Selmer, Michie, Guys, and Eastview. We ended the campaign having installed 373 alarms over a 2-week period and we have MANY of you to think for making that possible! We also reached our TN Regional goal amongst the 8 chapters in Tennessee.


As we look toward the summer months, just a reminder that our Volunteer Appreciation Day is right around the corner! We’ll all assemble at the Milan City Park at 7001 Ellington Dr. in Milan on Saturday, June 23rd from 10am-3pm. Please come enjoy a day of celebration and recognition for all your efforts toward the Sound the Alarm campaign and the other chapter achievements over the last 12 months (and in anticipation of the year to come). I hope to see each of you there!
