Letter from Heart of Tennessee Executive Director, Kathy Ferrell - February 2019

Heart of Tennessee Volunteers:

“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”  William Shakespeare

This quote resonated with me this week. I do believe that we are incredibly fortunate to find our gifts and even more fortunate to share those gifts with others. This is what you collectively do with the American Red Cross, but also in so many other areas of your lives. You so generously share your most precious asset with us: your time. You roll up your sleeves and donate blood, giving the gift of life to our neighbors. You share your time to respond to serve our neighbors impacted by a disaster. You staff our front desk, making every person that enters our building feel engaged and comfortable. You help maintain our fleet. You assist us with events and record keeping. You walk in the front door and ask what you can do today to help the staff. I hope you know that we could not move our mission forward without each of you and the time you invest in this chapter.

With gratitude,
Kathy Ferrell

Executive Director, Heart of Tennessee Chapter
