This episode from the vault tells the (mostly) true tales of the great volunteers in the Northeast Tennessee region, past and present. Stories include a hilarious behind-the-scenes account from the servers (or “runners”) at Jonesborough’s famous Farm to Table Dinner; the "Cookie Lady" at the local hospital; CASA volunteers; Dr. Jane Toothman's introduction of therapy dogs to sit with cancer patients;  a tear jerking account of the founding of “Compassionate Friends” group in the area, and Bob Dunn, who put in an amazing 1,000 hours of volunteer work with the Heritage Alliance as a costumed interpreter. Plus so many more.  In a small town with so many events, Jonesborough runs on their quirky and always present Volunteer power!
