Letter from East Tennessee Executive Director, Sharon Hudson - June 2019

Thank you to the volunteers and staff who made our second annual Sound the Alarm, Save a Life event a huge success. Our team of over 150 volunteers and staff worked together in the West Hills Neighborhood and the Amherst Mobile Home Park to install smoke alarms to make our community safer.

Our Honorary Chair, Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs, kicked off the event and joined our Tiffany Circle team to install smoke alarms. Homeowner Donnie Ernst was thrilled when the Mayor showed up to install smoke alarms in his home. We also received thank you notes from neighbors the following week and checks from homeowners to show their appreciation. Once again, fulfilling our mission through mobilizing the power of our volunteers and the generosity of donors. 

Thank you again for your time to make this event a success!

Please also mark your calendar for our Annual Meeting on June 6, 2019 at 4 p.m. at the East Tennessee Chapter. We will have a brief meeting to share news, our upcoming board roster, and recognize volunteers with service anniversary pins. Food and refreshments will be served.
