Thinking back to when I first started as Executive Director in January 2019, I remember one long-timevolunteer tell me that “being a nice person is a risk factor for developing ALS” — a statement that couldn’t beany truer. As I travel around the Evergreen Chapter’s broad service area, I’m struck by the kindness and dignity ofthe people I meet who have ALS. Meeting our PALS (people with ALS) and their families keeps me focused on theprofound task of serving this organization. I am humbled and honored to represent the Evergreen Chapter andwant to thank the following groups:• The incredible staff of the Evergreen Chapter — if you took pencil to paper to describe what a committed,honest and passionate staff looks like, you would come up with our team. When our care services coordinatorssee PALS hurting, I can tell you firsthand, they are broken;and when a member of our fundraising team doesn’t hit herfinancial goals, she is broken, thinking it will impact patientservices. This is the staff you want in your corner and I thankmy lucky stars every day for each of them.• The Evergreen Chapter Board of Directors — we’ve gonethrough key transitions this year and I’m excited as wechart a new path. I would like to give a shout out to JeanGronewald, Merilyn Moore, Susan Shay and Dave Foucaultwho have generously shared their wisdom with me thesepast few months.• Our community partners — our compassionateclinic teams, our caring vendors, and our committedcorporate sponsors who make a merciless disease a bitmore tolerable.• Our volunteers and donors — the cornerstone of theEvergreen Chapter. Their generosity of time, talentand treasure make our work to support PALS possible.• And especially, the people with ALS, who inspire usto work harder each day.I look forward to working with all of you in 2020.Best regards,Pauline ProulxEXECUTIVE DIRECTORComing in 2020:Caregiver Boot CampsThe Evergreen Chapter is planningCaregiver Boot Camps throughout ourservice area next year.
