Children's Advocacy Center Thanks Volunteers Pee Wee & Rock Hartley

Saturday was a busy day at the Iron Horse in Ormond Beach

Besides having Big Engine rocking a great crowd

And part two of Pee Wee's Poker Run (the raffle)

There was also a small presentation ceremony!

Pam Hobbs, Development Officer for The Children's Advocacy Center was on hand to personally thank both Pee Wee and Rock Hartley for their work to put on a Toy Run that benefited the Children's Advocacy Center's of Volusia and Flagler Counties on December 1 of this year.

Both men were given a Certificate of Appreciation for their services and support along with a Letter of Gratitude from the Center.

I was able to obtain a copy of both Pee Wee's & Rock Hartley's certificates via email when I told them I wanted to do this post so I could share them with all of you.

Pee Wee's came directly from Pam that is why there is no signature, I don't think Pee Wee has a scanner.

 

A lot of folks don't understand why people like Rock, Pee Wee and myself (along with many, many others) do things like this.

Honestly, it isn't for the awards or certificates

 It is for smiles we will never see

It is for the thank you we will probably never get

That is how we like it though.

We are not in it for the glory

We do it for one simple reason...

Because We Can

 I've also uploaded the letter that came with the certificate so you can see how the Center will distribute the toys and gifts that were collected on December 1st.

Lysa, this is great. I have been on a non-profit board in Ann Arbor for 8 years called Student Advocacy Center. Great job.

Lysa...What a great group of people. Definitely not in it for the glory...the smiles yes..glory no!

Awesome Lysa...you are a real credit to your community. They are lucky to have you.

I must admit I started volunteering for the non-profit I represent (www.picnh.org) about 5 years ago now....not just to give back but to make business contacts. Well I'm now the Board Chair, and haven't made any business contacts....but the rewards have been un-measurable!

Joan, It's a group effort, not just me, but thanks ;). Isn't it funny the lessons we learn when we give back?

janeAnne, We all thank you!

Lysa, I just wanted to stop by to let you I am very proud of you for all the good causes you support. Thank you for being so caring.

Lysa, Whoever taught you it is better to give than receive sure did a great job!  Kudos to you and all the others for the wonderful things you do in your community.

Hey BB! Thank you for your support! We all appreciate it :)

Carole, Your comment made me stop and think. I don't know that anyone actually taught me, if they did I don't remember. I wonder if it is something we are self taught? At any rate, thank you :)

Lysa - I think you should be crowned as the Tourism Promoter for Daytona Beach!  You do a great job keeping everyone up to date with all that's going on.

I love it!

Lysa- you do represent Daytona well...how about good will embassador!

Lysa- The gift of giving your time yields priceless rewards, and can never be repaid! Great job! It is awesome what you do, making sure that kids who would have received little or nothing, receive a toy.

Lysa, I completely understand doing it for the smiles.  Money comes and goes, memories of helping people stays with you.  I feel blessed to know you and appreciate the work you do!  :o)

12/11/2007 07:12 AM by Sarah Cooper (Real Estate Shows)


That is wonderful...you know if it only helps one deserving kid it is worth it.  I volunteer all the time and have no idea how it helps or even who it helps most of the time.  Why do I do it??? Because it's the right thing to do. 

I am a cancer awareness advocate because everyone know someone that has had cancer and I most likely I will have it some time in my life...pay it forward!!!

Lysa - Again, bless you for the wonderful work you are doing. I'm proud to be associated with you.

Carol, You're too funny! I like to let folks know about the people I consider unsung heros. So many folks don't know about the good the biker community does and this is the perfect way to let them know! Thanks!

Midori! Thanks so much from all of us for your support! I'll share the crown :)

Alecia, You nailed it girl! That is why we do what we do! Thank you!

Sarah, The blessings go both ways my friend. Thanks so much for your continued support!

12/11/2007 08:23 AM by Lysa Napolitano, Call Coordinator ~ Century 21 Sundance (Century 21 Sundance)


Bob, Then you know exactly why we do it. We also are involved with a huge annual event in April to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. We put a lot of energy and time into and we love every minute of it. Thank you for all you do!!

Tom, Thank you, the feeling is very mutual!

The beautiful aspect of ALL this is that Rock, Marsha, Pee Wee, Radio Bob, Mickey, Bubba, Lysa aka Gypsy, and the ENTOURAGE do this throughout the year, it's not just a Holiday spirit thing!!!  And to you Lysa, I am SOOOooooo freakin' PROUD to call you my friend, I LOVE ALL OF YOU XOXOXOX Blessings to All!

To The Other Lysa ~ Thank you... You managed to turn the tables on me and you know what I mean. Right back at you on the Friend thing, I wouldn't be where I am right now if it weren't for your friendship.
xoxoxo

Lysa, it's people like you that make this world a better place.  If every single one of us would do a good deed without expecting anything in return, we would have no worries and no malice.  Congratulations and YOU ROCK!!!

12/11/2007 02:21 PM by Rick & Ines - Miami Shores Real Estate (Majestic Properties)


Lysa, I don't know how you find the time to help out with so many worthwhile causes but I am so glad you do!  Just knowing that you make a difference in only one person's life would make it worthwhile, but you touch so many.  I am honored to know you =)

12/11/2007 08:25 PM by Palmetto Bay | Redland Real Estate | Maggie Dokic (EWM Realtors)


Rick and Ines! Wouldn't it be great if the world worked like that? Thanks so much!

Maggie, Sometimes I don't know either, but from what I know about you, we're not all that different and you have children your raising. The honor goes both ways girlfriend!
