Heart of Tennessee Volunteers:
Never doubt that a
small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed,
it’s the only thing that ever has.
-Margaret Mead
Thank you for remaining committed throughout the summer
months!
We have been incredibly busy in every line of service during
the past month. Our disaster teams served
our neighbors impacted by fire, proving direct client assistance totaling
$10,800 in the month of July. Together
we installed 110 free smoke alarms in the Wherry Housing Community. Our Emergency Response Vehicle traveled to
Boxwell Reservation to participate in a camp the Tennessee National Guard
sponsors for children of Guard Members.
The staff shared our annual goals and a master calendar with the volunteers
at our monthly meeting. Cynthia Tate and
her team continue to meet and exceed the whole blood daily collection goal in
our blood donation center. Needless to
say, the Heart of Tennessee Team—staff and volunteers—are definitely moving the
Mission forward in the new fiscal year!
I challenge you to share your Red Cross story, why you are
motivated to serve. I challenge you to
roll up your sleeve and give blood. And finally, I challenge you to bring a
family member, friend, or neighbor to our August all volunteer meeting. Let’s continue to serve the community and to
share the opportunity to serve with others.
With gratitude,
Kathy
