On June 21, staff and volunteers had the pleasure of hosting a Day of Caring with the United Way of Greater Kingsport. Volunteers from Eastman and Salesforce offered a day of their time to assist the Northeast Tennessee Red Cross Chapter. Thanks to their generosity and kindness, we now have freshly painted walls and chairs, new light bulbs, clean vehicles, and safer homes with our smoke alarm installations! We appreciate the continued support from the United Way of Greater Kingsport, and those volunteering from Eastman and Salesforce! We are already looking forward to next year!

HIP-HIP HOORAY!
The Northeast Tennessee Chapter’s Annual Board of Directors Meeting was held on June 26th. During this time, we were able to celebrate goals that were achieved throughout FY18; this includes meeting all volunteer hour requirements, Pillowcase Project preparedness presentations, fire escape plans that were completed, and smoke alarm installations through the Sound The Alarm, Savel A Life (STASAL) campaign. Not only did we have the opportunity to celebrate the Chapter’s achievements, we also got to celebrate some amazing volunteers! These volunteers were acknowledged for their continued service to the Red Cross; Chair Daniel Blair presented the awards.

We were also able to celebrate the service of Jason Cody, who has served on the board of directors for the past three years, as well as Daniel Blair, serving as the FY18 Board Chair. The FY19-20 Executive Board was elected and includes Clark Parker, Chair; Kenrick Vidale, Vice Chair; and Jackie Hewitt, Secretary.
The Northeast Tennessee Chapter is aiming to engage the youth, volunteers and the communities that we serve. We are looking forward to an energized and prosperous 2019!
