Letter from Northeast Tennessee Executive Director, Kalen Collins - December 2018

VOLUNTEER HOLIDAY CELEBRATION

The Northeast Tennessee Chapter celebrated the Holiday Season at the All-Volunteer Meeting on Tuesday, December 4th. Sherry Barnett, who is with Sullivan County Anti-Drug Coalition, was the guest speaker. Sherry not only shared her story of fighting her drug addiction, but also provided Narcan training and certification to those in attendance. Raffle prizes, good food and great people made this an extremely successful meeting! Thanks to everyone who participated!


   
SERVICE TO ARMED FORCES
At the All-Volunteer Meeting on December 4th we also celebrated a volunteer milestone! Four years ago, Pat Barraclough took on the role as the Northeast Tennessee Service to Armed Forces Lead. She has been active in her role, working with volunteers, supporting military and veteran events, making sure holiday cards are distributed to military and veteran groups, supporting our VA Medical Center program, and so much more. Pat has also done an outstanding job with managing the Hospital Outreach Program funds and managing the SAF budget. She has worked diligently with military, veterans and community partners. Pat will continue volunteering with our Disaster Action Team and Service to Armed Forces programs. We would once again like to thank Pat for her service as the SAF Lead. Greg White is now serving as the SAF Lead.
