Join Us For One Or All Three Of Our Volunteer Retreats!
Each spring, RMHI volunteers and staff gather to enjoy each others company, share a meal, learn what is going on at the House and better understand the families we serve. This year we are introducing two additional sessions to give more people the opportunity to participate. All three sessions will be from 6-8 p.m. in the conference room at our Limestone location. Each will include a "State of the House" presentation by CEO Michelle Study-Campbell and COO Beth Johnson plus a special guest speaking about a different topic at each session:
A light meal will be served. Space is limited. To RSVP, please contact Mary Friend at [email protected] or add your name to the RSVP in the front office at Limestone. Please remember to tell us which session(s) you plan on attending.

| B105.7 Web-a-thon A Great Success Thanks to everyone who e-mailed, posted, tweeted and encouraged people to listen in our our first B105.7 web-a-thon.

Our next web-a-thon will be the week of October 12, on the House's 33rd anniversary. |
| Friendly Reminders Limestone
- When reporting for your shift, be sure to review the Communications Binder in the front office for important updates.
- When filling out the registration cards for our new guests, please use ink.
- If you are unsure of a procedure, don't hesitate to ask. There is always a staff member available and willing to answer your questions. If we don't know, we'll find out OR maybe it just might be a gap that needs attention.

| Look Who Was Caught Rolling Out The Red Carpet 
Mary Friend, Volunteer Resources Manager, caught Dale and Diana Roberts demonstrating cooperation, communication and teamwork. Mary wrote; "When Guest Services Volunteers, Dale and Diana Roberts learned that the person who usually picks up and delivers the weekly Panera donation to our Riley location had a conflict, they jumped in and offered to take on that task that week. Thanks to Dale and Diana, our families were able to enjoy Panera bagels and other baked goods that week." Thank you Dale and Diana! __________________________________________________________ Congratulations, Dale and Diana! Your name was drawn this month in our Red Carpet Award drawing and your Crew's Carwash pass is in the mail. __________________________________________________________ Remember if you catch a volunteer or staff member rolling out the red carpet and demonstrating excellent customer service, please submit a nomination using the attached form listing the criteria.
