When People's Lives Feel Like Broken Pottery

 After the worst structural fire ever in North Carolina destroyed a QVC shipping center, I returned to my hometown to serve on a United Way committee so that 2000 employees would receive aid. Here is my public service announcement. 

 



Dedicated volunteers gathered at Blanche's Bistro after recording videos for the $2020 match to raise $ to support unemployed QVC workers. Karen Kirkman,- a friend from grade 3, Stepheny Houghtlin - blogger on reviving RM, Denise Watkins- a forever friend, DrJean White whose video was judged as most spoken from the heart, Ginny - United Way's enthusiastic supporter of the QVC campaign. Missing is Haywood Parker - Karen's & my classmate from RM High, class of '72.

Cooperative Spirts + a Willingness to Work Together

 

While at Waffle House, Nashville, NC, the manager on the left, came out & announced to her crew that the diner had received a higher rating. There are 27 restaurants in the Rocky Mount area. Repeatedly, the Nashville store has been rated # 27. That day the eaterie rose to # 7! It is difficult to get a group photo where all look great. Not on the morning of 4/14/23! I witnessed these folks working together as a communicative team. Together we experienced ‘joy in the morning.’
