Feet on the Street

I was fortunate enough to help celebrate CTN’s grand opening today with a ribbon cutting. CTN stands for Community Transportation Network. They help individuals in need of transportation to and from medical appointments as well as partnering with other organizations that are in need of their services.

They are located in International Park at 2701 S. Coliseum and the open house was amazing. They have a beautiful set of offices; which connect to their indoor garage where now for the first time all their vehicles are in one place and under one roof.

Part of the open house was a tour through the offices where you were able to meet the staff along with the board members. One particular staff member is George Dunn.

George started out as a driver and was promoted to Supervisor of Training and Vehicle/Building Maintenance; he’s responsible for maintaining the building and most importantly their vehicles. George has his work down to a science and has a passion for what he does. George remarked that he is able to go home every night, put his feet up and know that he made a difference in somebody’s life that day. Can you imagine not having your car and needing to go to the doctor and having no support system?

There is something about CTN that is contagious; the people truly care about what they do. If you would like to help CTN continue to help people get to where they need to go in order to be healthy, give Becky Weimerskirch a call at (260) 420-3280 . There are many ways you can help them and enjoy a tax credit at the same time. The year is coming to an end and April 15 is just around the corner…..
