Have No Fear – - Lubbock Meals On Wheels

a quarterly publication of lubbock meals on wheelsvolume 30, number 2 • april 2009 • www.lubbockmealsonwheels.orgHave No Fear –The Volunteers are Here!Every morning at Lubbock Meals on Wheels, a series of events takesplace. The kitchen staff begins cooking and preparing food; then, thecoolers are packed with the completed meals. At 10:45 a.m. the doorraises revealing 98 coolers ready and waiting to be carried to theirintended recipients. All these steps are necessary to make sure the homeboundcommunity gets fed. The next part of the process, however, iscrucial; the volunteers must arrive to deliver the meals.Forty-three people are needed every day to deliver all of the routes.Pouring rain, freezing cold, or their own personal trials and tribulations,do not stop them from showing up and delivering meals to those who relyon them. These volunteers are selfless, kind, and generous - all the greatcharacteristics of any super hero. They may not wear a cape or have abig “S” on their chest, but to those waiting for their friendly smileand warm greeting, they are there to save the day.They respond to the call for help faster than a speedingbullet; their compassion is more powerful than a locomotive.They may not leap tall buildings in a singlebound, but what they do everyday for the homebound,elderly, and disabled makes them true super heroes.Although they do not ask for rewards or recognition,we want to show our appreciation for all that they doat our annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, Friday,April 24th. Awards will be given to those who havecompleted 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and even 35 years ofvolunteer service (now that is super human!). Volunteersand their guests will be treated to a special evening with a“Puttin’ on the Glitz” theme. They will enjoy great food,entertainment, door prizes, and hopefully realize how muchwe value all they do to make our community a better place tolive. X-ray vision and the ability to fly are common super heroskills, but our volunteers have the power to make a difference inpeople’s lives - one power that is truly super.

a note from the executive directorKind volunteers:Thank you foryour thoughtfulgifts and acts.– Lou EllaDear Friends,It has been one of the joys of myyears in Lubbock to be active in theMeals on Wheels program. It willbe a hard call to make whether I willmiss you the most, or you will missme the most!God bless your service, and all theemployees and volunteers. I lookforward to seeing you occasionallyLove, ArlyceDear Friends:I have been taking Meals on Wheelsfor a year and want to continue. I nolonger drive because my eyes are sobad. I must rely 100% on family andfriends to take me out. I enjoy andlook forward each day for my meals.I enjoyed all the extra “goodies” atChristmas. I want to thank every oneof you for your service. Each one ofyou is a blessing to me.- MargaretI had the opportunity to attend the “Get MotivatedBusiness Seminar” recently at the UnitedSpirit Arena. I went with no expectations andleft positive, encouraged and motivated. Someof the most inspiring speakers in the world werethere: Rudy Giuliani, Dr. Robert Schuller, ZigZiglar, Rick Belluzzo and several others. Thesepeople all talked about their lives and how thedifference between success and failure is a functionof how we respond to change.The speakers said determination is a key factorto staying strong in adversity, especially nowin these economic times. People who lead organizationsmust have the ability and courage toforge a vision for others to follow. We have tobe optimistic and inspire hope in others. Themission matters, and when mission fulfillmenthappens every day, that’s inspiring.Our organization is an inspiration. At LMOW, we are compassionate people trying toimprove the problem of hunger for the homebound, elderly, and disabled in our community.We serve the needs of over 600 people monthly. Our organization has goals andto meet these goals, it takes teamwork. Happy clients begin with happy employees andvolunteers. People thrive in places where they feel validated and secure. They will go theextra mile. Our staff is trained and trusted to do their jobs. We have the opportunity dailyto make a positive difference in the lives of others.When I see my staff viewing themselves as a team, making sacrifices for each other, andworking together for a common goal, we can experience greater success. This seminar wasa fabulous day - offering ideas to prepare and respond for a new millennium of businessand personal change at Lubbock Meals on Wheels.2Thanks so Much!Thank you to Metropolitan LubbockRotary Club for their generous grantto assist with the installation of a newfire suppression system for our kitchen.Thanks also to Girl Scout Troop 6308for their donation of 216 boxes of deliciousGirl Scout Cookies!
