Letter from Heart of Tennessee Executive Director, Kathy Ferrell - November 2018

Heart of Tennessee Volunteers:

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.”  John Quincy Adams

Thank you for your service and your leadership!

We have been incredibly busy in every line of service during the past month.  You continue to respond to serve our neighbors impacted by a fire; direct client assistance totaled over $18,000 during the month of October.  We welcomed special guest Lisa Marchesoni to our all-volunteer meeting and had record attendance.  Our Diversity and Inclusion Committee, BioMed Committee, and Community Outreach Committee are faithfully meeting and working to grow our base of support and make sure we are serving everyone in our communities.  Our Service to the Armed Forces volunteers continue to provide briefings, tables at events, and to prepare for a busy Holiday Mail for Heroes season.  Cynthia Tate and her team continue to meet and exceed the whole blood daily collection goal in our blood donation center.  The annual MTSU Bleeds Blue Blood Battle vs WKU was a phenomenal success, setting records and impacting the lives of over 1,800 individuals with the collection from MTSU alone.  The Heart of Tennessee Team is truly moving the Mission forward!

During this season of thankfulness, I’m truly thankful for each of you, for the gifts and talents that you so willingly share as we move our Mission forward.  Wishing you peace and time with those you love this Thanksgiving Season.

With gratitude,
Kathy Ferrell
Executive Director, Heart of Tennessee Chapter
