Cetronia Chronicle

April 2021 | Issue #10

Greetings! The month of April is special to us because we get to honor our volunteers during National Volunteer Week. Our organization was founded by volunteers and we cannot thank them enough for their time and dedication. We also want to thank Upper Macungie Township on having a successful Bunny Hop Trunk Hunt on Sunday, April 11. It was nice to see so many kids and hopefully we put smiles on their faces under those masks! We'll also be at the township's Movies In The Park nights starting in May. You can find out more on their website. Be sure to stop out and say hi. Please save the date for our Health On Wheels Cetronia Open golf tournament being planned for Friday, September 17 at Olde Homestead Golf Club. Last year we canceled our event due to COVID-19 so we are anxious to see all of you again. We truly appreciate your support. Lastly, with such a need for blood donations, we'll be opening our facility and giving free tours to those that donate on June 29. You can schedule an appointment by giving us a call and we'll get you registered! Stay well, Robert F. Mateff Sr. Chief Executive Officer March Stats: 1,067 Emergency Calls 605 Non-emergency Calls 1,949 Paratransit Runs National Volunteer Week National Volunteer Week is celebrated April 18 – 24, 2021. The dictionary defines a volunteer as:   noun a person who freely offers to take part in an enterprise or undertake a task. verb freely offer to do something. While those are great definitions, we firmly believe they don't express the gratitude from those that are recipients of the individuals who go above and beyond. We are truly blessed to have had so many wonderful volunteers throughout our existence. In fact, they are the reason we are here today. Back in 1955, 20 individuals had the forethought and community-mindset to create our foundation. That is simply amazing. Today, we have far fewer volunteers, but are thankful for every second they spend with us. Read here to find out more about our origins and our salute to the current volunteers. ‌
