Inaugural Message

Who would have ever thought I would have my own blog? I still am not all that sure what a blog is but here goes! My hope is to share wonderful wish stories and kudos about our staff and volunteers with you on a semi-regular basis.

After each wish we grant, we send the family a Wish Satisfaction Survey so they can tell us about their wish experience. Here are some comments from some very happy parents:

"We really enjoyed ourselves. It was an experience of a life time to us."

"Everything was great. I can't thank you enough for what you and your people did for my family."

"Thank you so much for granting my daughter's wish. It actually helped in getting her to talk more."

"We were extremely pleased and everyone was wonderful. The entire experience was amazing! Thank you very much!"

The staff, volunteers and especially the wish sponsors really do create magic every time a wish is granted. Our fiscal year just began in September and through November, we have granted 77 wishes. For each volunteer that has worked a wish and to each wish sponsor that donated the funds for a wish and to our Wish Coordinators - Tawnette, Wendy, Tracy and Melissa - my hat is off to you!

The Memphis staff is gearing up for our annual Stories of Light campaign with FM100 on December 14 & 15. My next entry will have lots to share from this wonderful community outreach. Stay tuned - literally!

Until then,
Best "Wishes"

Liz

and remember it is not a Last Wish but Lasting Memories.
