Moore Norman Technology Center (Franklin Road Campus)

Room A200

4701 12th Avenue NW

Norman, OK 73069

The staff at Heartland Hospice of Norman and myself want to let you all know how much we value you as a volunteer. All of you have stepped out of your comfort zone and given your time to serve our patients and our community. We also appreciate all of you who have helped out our office with special projects and have stepped up even on short notice. Thank you so much!

To show you our appreciation and in celebration of "you", we hope you will join us at this year's banquet. The theme is "Cherishing Each Moment With You!" We will be joined by special guest speaker, Sharon Rentzel. She is the President of the Junior League of Norman, a nationwide and prestigious volunteer organization for women. You will be inspired by her words and passion for volunteerism. In addition, we will have a live musical performance just for you. Dinner will be served and gifts will be poured.

Invitations have been mailed! Please RSVP by April 21st. If you have not received your invitation, please contact the office or email.

Hope to see you there! You don't want to miss this!

Cast Your Vote...We Want to Know!

Every year, Heartland Hospice advertises our services and organization through various avenues. One in particular is through a billboard on Robinson Street. We are wanting your feedback on the effectiveness of this particular billboard, located on Robinson Street (close to US77). We would also like to know what days are the least busiest for our volunteers. This will help us with scheduling events and meetings. Will you please take a few seconds to cast your vote through our poll on the right side? If you have other comments about this, please feel free to contact us.

Reminder: Turn in your volunteer notes and clerical logs!

Wanted!!!
We also still need a few more hands and bodies to help with baking and bagging cookies for "Dr's Day!" Let's show them how much their appreciated. Look at the Upcoming Events/Opportunities section for more info.

Look out for your April Newsletter in the mail!

Hello Goodbye

My name is Christine Yeo. I am so blessed and excited to be the new Volunteer Coordinator! I have been training with Sara Proctor for the last two weeks. I am eager to work with all of Heartland Hospice's Norman volunteers, as I have been familiarizing myself with the volunteer files.

You will notice some upcoming developments in the next few months in terms of communication, activities, and leadership/involvement opportunities for you, our volunteers.

Please feel free to stop by the Norman office or contact me. I look forward to getting to know each of you!
