Our walk committee members are groups of people, working in eight different cities across North Carolina, comprised of a single goal – to end ALS.
To accomplish this task, they sacrifice their personal time, their family time, and sometimes, their work time. They spend hours cultivating leads in their community, looking for potential new sponsors and informing friends and family of their mission. They come up with fresh ideas to tackle the same old problems. Their internal motivations give life to the committee, and help it to flourish and grow even when undertakings seem at their most daunting.
In my three months at the Catfish Chapter, I have had many opportunities to be thankful for my committees. I have appreciated their experience, their guidance, and their excitement over our plans. I have also heard my co-workers express similar offerings of gratitude as we discuss our plans for the upcoming 2012 season.
We are all so thankful to have people in our communities who care so much about this cause, and who work so hard for the change they wish to see in the world. Because, bottom line, we know that our efforts would not mean as much without yours. So, to our committee members, please enjoy this time of thanks, and know that whatever you may be thankful for this holiday season, you are already at the top of our list.
