How are we doing?
Houston Ground Angels
Management Review July 2016
From Tony Castiglie, Treasurer
June turned out to be a relatively slow month. More new patients are requesting our services while those we serviced many times seem to be decreasing. Servicing primarily oncology patients would fit the pattern of people completing treatment.
Unfortunately, in most cases, we have no way of knowing what or why. The 188 missions we ran during June brings this year's total to 1,243. Being realistic, we have reset our goal for the year at 2,500.
Thus far during 2016, 82 volunteers have run missions. Big time volunteers continue to hit the highways - Paulette Blackburn (119), Richard Chidlow (94), Charles Whitworth (91), Charles Gibson (70) & Ruthanne Bowser (65)- are leading the way. Thanks to any & all whole run missions. June was a special milestone for a very special volunteer. Ruthanne Bowser joined Houston Ground Angels in August 2010 & has been a leading volunteer ever since. Ruthanne just ran her 900th Mission.
It is a real honor to be associated with such a special & dedicated volunteer. We all express our gratitude.
We continue in our ability to satisfy most mission requests but we hope to do better. Our fulfillment rate for the year is 92%, over our stated goal of 95%. Usually, those missions not chosen by volunteers are those either late into the night or very early in the morning.
One new volunteer, Roy Levy who resides in The Woodlands, joined us during June. Welcome aboard! This now adds 8 new volunteers this year.
To every volunteer, "Thank You" for being part of this wonderful organization and making it the success that it is. Our expectation is that 2016 will be another great year ever!
Sincerely,
Tony
