I want to take a moment to look back at our Sound the Alarm event which we hosted on Saturday, April 27 in Haywood County. It was a tremendous success with us installing more than 220 smoke alarms and making over 90 homes safer. The partnership we shared with the Brownsville/Haywood County Fire Department was tremendous and they couldn’t have been better in assisting us with the tools and equipment (not to mention the fire trucks). We were also given major assistance by the Haywood County Mayor, William Rawls, and the Community Outreach Director, Shalondria Shaw.
We’re also indebted to the Brownsville radio station 95.3 for their tireless promotion of the event and allowing me to be a guest on two different shows on two different days to help rally the community and increase the awareness and response. Many thanks to each one of you in the Haywood County community. We will be joining forces again in the future for the good of your community!
On Thursday, May 16, we held our sixth annual Heroes Luncheon at the Carl Grant Events Center on the campus of Union University. The following heroes were recognized:
Volunteer of the Year - Sarah Rice (Hardeman County)
Distinguished Service - Valerie and Dick Bates (Henry County)
Humanitarian of the Year - Amy Crenshaw (Madison County)
Uniformed Hero of the Year - Zachary Pruitt (Madison County)
If you happen to know these recipients, please take the time to acknowledge and congratulate them on their recognition and service to the American Red Cross!
