Each BRMC Volunteer of the Month recipient is recognized with a framed Volunteer of the Month Certificate, a gift card for a dinner at a local restaurant, and a carrying bag emblazoned with a large heart containing the statement “A Work of Heart.” The carrying bag contains items that celebrate The Texas Association of Healthcare Volunteers motto for 2015 – 2016, “Remember those who cannot remember; Knowledge empowers caregivers.” This motto emphasizes the need to improve everyone’s knowledge of the disease “Alzheimer’s.”The BRMC Volunteers are always excited to meet area individuals who are interested in becoming a volunteer and are actively soliciting new members.
