Hanover Safe Place Thanks Randolph-Macon

President of Hanover Safe Place··································
I am the current President of Hanover Safe Place which provides services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in our local community. In March of every year, the Mechanicsville Rotary Club hosts a benefit Casino Night to raise funds to support our services, which are very capably managed by Ms. Sheree Hedrick, wife of your Yellow Jackets Baseball Coach, Ray Hedrick. One of your professors, Dr. Beth Gill, serves on our Board of Directors and there are many other strong ties between our organization and the College, for which we are very grateful.
We especially want to thank Coach Pedro Arruza for encouraging members of the football team to serve as volunteers during Casino Night. This is the third year that more than a dozen student-athletes have attended; assisting with everything from greeting the ticket holders to helping them take their prizes to their cars at the end of the night. These young men have really distinguished themselves with their winning ways and helpful attitudes. It is long night for the student volunteers, but presents a great opportunity for them and the local business community to interact.
The Directors and Staff of Hanover Safe Place appreciate all the great support we receive from the College, but it is especially gratifying to have your students as volunteers at any of our events.
