Program Director Noteshellip Hi Gang

Know anyone that wants to help us with some of our monthly trips We are looking for a driver to take about four to five trips per month This is a great way to see Nashville and to try different local restaurants All food and any tickets to events will be paid for You do NOT need a CDL license to drive our bus just a regular drivers license We will run a check on your driving record and a background report If you know someone who would be a good fit for this volunteer position stop by my office Obviously they should be good with people and having a fun personality is a bonus

Lisa Maddox Program Director

Center Director Noteshellip Dear Friends

Thanks to all who came out to support Donelson Station on April 13 We had lots of people enjoy pancakes purchase plants shop the Bargain Basement and drop off medicines electronics and bulk items Thanks to the community and your support we raised $2300 Another way to support your center is through our annual Spring Campaign You will receive a letter in the mail soon asking for your support Please give as you are able even if itrsquos only $10 or $20 Membership fees barely cover the cost of our utilities With as many members as Donelson Station has a little bit from every one would make a huge difference with our budget

The Advisory Council is looking for new members If you are interested in serving the center by working with staff please let me know Strong leadership is needed and we want your voice to be heard All meetings are open to members

Our annual Membership Survey has been sent out and is available in print form until May 1 Please share your feedback with us to improve your center

Lastly our doors will soon lock and unlock automatically at the centers designated operating hours This added security will prevent the doors from accidentally remaining open The door at the South end of the building (next to the Art Room) is now equipped with a buzzer and speaker to allow access to physically disabled members not able to park close to the front of the building Thanks for your cooperation

Program Director Noteshellip Hi Gang

Know anyone that wants to help us with some of our monthly trips We are looking for a driver to take about four to five trips per month This is a great way to see Nashville and to try different local restaurants All food and any tickets to events will be paid for You do NOT need a CDL license to drive our bus just a regular drivers license We will run a check on your driving record and a background report If you know someone who would be a good fit for this volunteer position stop by my office Obviously they should be good with people and having a fun personality is a bonus

Also thank you to those who helped me with the Pancake Breakfast fundraiser You all are so appreciated and I could not have done it without you

Lisa Maddox Program Director

Center Director Noteshellip Dear Friends

Thanks to all who came out to support Donelson Station on April 13 We had lots of people enjoy pancakes purchase plants shop the Bargain Basement and drop off medicines electronics and bulk items Thanks to the community and your support we raised $2300 Another way to support your center is through our annual Spring Campaign You will receive a letter in the mail soon asking for your support Please give as you are able even if itrsquos only $10 or $20 Membership fees barely cover the cost of our utilities With as many members as Donelson Station has a little bit from every one would make a huge difference with our budget

The Advisory Council is looking for new members If you are interested in serving the center by working with staff please let me know Strong leadership is needed and we want your voice to be heard All meetings are open to members

Our annual Membership Survey has been sent out and is available in print form until May 1 Please share your feedback with us to improve your center

Lastly our doors will soon lock and unlock automatically at the centers designated operating hours This added security will prevent the doors from accidentally remaining open The door at the South end of the building (next to the Art Room) is now equipped with a buzzer and speaker to allow access to physically disabled members not able to park close to the front of the building Thanks for your cooperation
