As long as I remember, I was involved in volunteerism. First I was a volunteer myself. Then I enjoyed a successful and fulfilling career in social services and volunteer management. Karl and I moved to Arkansas and soon found ourselves involved with the hospital thrift shop. It was my pleasure to work alongside a group of energetic, dedicated and caring volunteers. We shared the goal of making the shop one where members of the public would enjoy shopping and know they would be well served and well satisfied. During this National Volunteer Week I salute those volunteers and thank them for allowing me to be part of them.

I am amazed at how many followers I still have on this page and have gotten some inquiries about our life here in Tennessee so here’s a quick update. We continue to volunteer, are looking forward to the pool opening in May, have met some interesting folks, attended a number of really good programs and have joined an excellent book club. We have also become involved with a history group and have become Friends of the Library. Karl and I just celebrated our 60th anniversary and treated ourselves to a new car that comes with all the bells and whistles. We missed all you folks from Arkansas but life is good here in Tennessee.

From the ”wish you were here” department, thinking of all those who read the Love Inspired books, our little thrift room just received this donation of brand new books.

How is this for irony? It wasn’t so very long ago that the building on Quandt Street look
like this. Karl and I and our dedicated volunteers worked tirelessly to create the new shop. Then we moved to Tennessee to be closer to family. Our

goal was to pick and choose the actives we would become involved in. One of our choices was the Habitat Re-Store. Ironically , that program is now moving to a new location. This empty building is huge and will require a complete buildout. This time, though, Karl will only advise when needed. Irony?????
