HR Gives Back, and How!

Rachael Wilkins

On behalf of Safe Haven, I would like to thank all of the members of MT|SHRM for this incredible service that you will provide for our residents.

Last Thursday afternoon, nearly 50 of you (I understand that's like 10% of your association!) came to hear and learn how to be volunteers for Safe Haven.

We are very excited about this partnership and believe that this will aid our organization and families in countless ways.

We cannot wait to begin the process, and get to know you all more. I couldn't believe how many people showed interest in helping others and taking time out of their busy lives to impact ours. Mary Beth and I were elated and encouraged after leaving the meeting.

I would also like to invite you to visit our Web site to learn more about what we do at www.safehaven.org.

Again, thank you to the sponsors, Leslie Garrett-Stephens and Tim Potter for coordinating this wonderful event.

Rachael Wilkins is Director of Communications and Development for Safe Haven Family Shelter. She may be reached at 615-256-8195 and www.safehaven.org, "Because Every Family Needs A Home!"
