Heart Association
elects '91 officers
The volunteers of the Rappahannock County Unit of the American Heart Association held their annual meeting at the Bleu Rock Inn on June 3.
Outgoing president Eino Siira gave high praise and warm thanks to the members of his team, who had worked so effectively to surpass their 1990-91 campaign goals.
Jane Lienesch, the AHA Area Director, presented official heart symbol awards to former board members and handed an engraved plaque to Mr. Siira for his outstanding program leadership.
It was also an opportunity to give a hearty welcome to the newly elected members who will serve during the 1991-92 campaign/
Incoming president Paul Nichols outlined future goals, providing for some new activities and a small increase over last year’s goal achievement.
Several board members have not yet completed their terms of office and a few were persuaded to “reenlist” so the new president will have a seasoned team to meet the campaign goals.
Jon Heddleston will continue serving as vice president as will Doris Donald, secretary and Marie Davis, treasurer.
Continuing members include Beverly Atkins, Lillian Aylor, Virginia Cloud, Marion Facchina, Maybelle Gilkey, Janie Jackson, Jerry Martin, Edna Metzinger, Ann Miller, Carol Nowakoski, Bob Scott, Helen Smith and Pat Vest Whorton.
The entire board extended a heartfelt welcome to incoming members Doug Baumgardner, attorney; Donna Hufnagel, general manager of the Bleu Rock Inn; Cindy Mahan of the Rappahannock News staff and Lori Pfalzgraf of the Rappahannock High faculty.
The experienced volunteers will be responsible for continuing the success of the educational programs: “Getting to Know Your Heart,” “Heart Decisions,” and “Save a Sweet Heart,” within our local schools, as well as the Culinary Hearts Kitchen Cooking Course, “Drive to Yoqr Heart’s Content” and a new program, “Heart Treasure Chest,” for pre-school and kindergarten children.
As before, the development programs will be the primary source of donations and contributions. The community will receive detailed information and schedules for each program event as it becomes current.
The local chapter has become familiar with the “Jump Rope for Heart,” the “Turkeywalk,” the major gifts and memorials and the final event, the door-to-door residential canvassing, which last year visited nearly 1,500 homes. This year two programs will be ,added, a special appeal to business and an entertaining event called “Celebrity Waiter."
