Welcome to Summer As you may know, we are still in a search for personnel to fill our two Martin vacancies, our Program and Partnership Director and our Volunteer and Office Manager. Helen is continuing to help us “hang on” until we can find the right candidate. If you know of someone that might be interested in either of these roles, please let us know. We need to cast a wider net so please help us spread the word.

If you are wondering why we aren’t scheduling more trips, it is because we are required by law to only use CDL licensed drivers. In the past we used several of our great Brentwood firefighters, but one is retiring this summer and two others are now in Administrative positions so they no longer have shift rotations. The rotation means that they are off during certain days, giving them the flexibility to drive for us. If you know of any friends or neighbors that might have this license, please reach out to them to see if they might be interested in contracting to drive for us several times a month. Thanks, Joyce
