On September 13, 2008, my wife, daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter along with several friends joined in the Tarrant County Heart Walk. There were thousands of walkers who donated money out of their funds or were sponsored by others; many volunteers gave up their Saturday to make this event a great success. Many businesses donated drinks, snacks and other items to the walkers. Even with the threat of wind and rain, the walkers showed up to show their support of this worthwhile cause.
The survivors of heart procedures were recognized by the American Heart Association by giving them red hats to wear.
This event brought home the point of how much within our society depends upon volunteers, donations by caring persons and caregivers. Our Serra Club is successful because our membership volunteers and makes donations to the Serra Club through dues, 50/50 raffle along with the other causes for which volunteer give time, talent and treasury.
Because of what each member contribution of time, talent and treasury does for the good of the Serra Club, the balance of the Serra Club membership is very thankful. The Serra Club cannot be successful without your support and assistance.
In the future you as a member of the Serra Club find a cause in which you intend to get involved because it will help increase vocations or benefit our Serra Club, please bring the matter to the board for action. I am confident you will find support from our board and membership.
Thank you for all the things that you do to help with our work for vocations.
God Bless. You!
Tom Murphy, President
