They don't want to fool around and not do it right. You waste time and you waste money. It takes a whole lot of money and a lot of time to get that status. You will not attract a lot of volunteers if your act is not together. We have a lot of non-profit organizations for the size of our community, more than normal.
Health care is a huge part of it.
If you think about it, the clinics sort of follow the population down the river. The health care needs are huge here. I think Thomason and Tech do a good job, but there are lots of people who can't get there for one reason or another. I just hope that our organization made a little dent in how nonprofits can work for the betterment of the community. We're having a volunteer recognition luncheon in April.
