MEETING NOTES

Fellow Rotarian James Summers introduced Elizabeth Hendally, co-founder of Angel’s Wings Transport as our program speaker.  Before she launched into her presentation on Angel’s Wings, she entertained us with her take on “It’s A Wonderful Life” and how Angel’s Wings makes it happen.  Elizabeth’s husband, Asher Ray, identified a need and presented it to James Summers.  He encouraged Elizabeth and Asher to pursue it and Angel’s Wings Transport was born.  Its purpose was to provide transportation for employees to and from their jobs.  What Angel’s Wings learned in the process was how to network these workers into other programs provided by SCORE, Chassix, and Goodwill.  The benefit to employers was a reliable workforce.  Angel’s Wings Transport expanded their services to provide medical transport to seniors and for the homeless, along with emergency services and shelter for bomb scares.  Angel’s Wings is funded by donations and volunteers – people helping people, and does not accept federal grants or taxpayer dollars.  Elizabeth emphasized that “if you give a man a job, you will change his life,” and Angel’s Wings makes it possible.
