Tim generously accepted to play for the Annual Volunteer Appreciation Event for the Ebenezer Minneapolis Campus. The Volunteer Appreciation luncheon took place on April 23rd. As Director of Volunteer Services on the Minneapolis Campus, I know that music is an integral part of this annual event. The theme this year was "Volunteers Rock" which had a double meaning; rock music and the Rock of Ebenezer. Ebenezer means "Stone of Help" and our volunteers are the cornerstone of our organization.
Tim Mahoney and his music was added icing on the cake. Tim made the Rock theme come to life with his talent and personality. The luncheon was a sit down event serving approximately 200 of the volunteers that have given almost 33000 hours to the residents on our campus. This number reflects having approximately 16 Full Time Employees.
Ebenezer's mission is "to help older adults and others lives more independent, healthful, meaningful and secure." Ebenezer provides access throughout Minnesota to a full range of senior housing options, community-based programs and medical care.
Tim showed up in a trendy black leather jacket, and dyed blue jeans. His silver guitar glistened through the St. Mary's Event Center where the appreciation event was held. The theme this year was "Volunteers Rock". Each table setting had a thoughtfully wrapped inspiration rock tied with a tag that had Rock and Roll insignia, guitars, and rock and roll stamps. The center piece was a colorful pail overlaid with "You Rock" Gel Stickers on it. Under the center piece was a mirror sprinkled with pastel colored flower petals.
Can I just say, "Tim Mahoney rocked the house!" Strumming on his silver guitar during and after the luncheon, one could see that the instrument is an extension of him. This kind, down to earth music man, made the volunteers feel special. He welcomed the Ebenezer volunteers to come up on stage and get their picture taken with him and his famous guitar that has his name written across it.
What do you get when you bring in a talented musician and a room of volunteers? Happy Rocking' Dancers. Thanks so much Tim, you made this years Volunteer Event a true success. You will always be a friend of ours.
