NET Trans Local Roadeo Recap!

On Friday and Saturday, September 11–12, our NET Trans drivers came together for our local Roadeo. The Roadeo is a professional skills and safety competition designed to showcase the expertise, precision, and dedication of public transit operators and maintenance mechanics.

Our drivers put their skills to the test through a variety of challenges, all while keeping safety, professionalism, and excellent service at the forefront.

The Roadeo is more than a competition, it’s an opportunity for our team to learn, practice, connect, and celebrate the important work they do every day to keep our community moving.

A big thank-you to all of our NET Trans drivers for participating and for the care and commitment you bring to every ride!

FTHRA’s Foster Grandparent Program recently gathered for a special day honoring 250 years of America and the spirit of service, with a special focus on the dedicated Foster Grandparents who give their time, compassion, and experience to children and communities across Northeast Tennessee.

The program was opened by Rhonda Humbert, Director of the Foster Grandparent Program, who welcomed guests and set the tone for a meaningful celebration.

We were honored to hear from community leaders and special guests, including:

Jeff Taylor, President & CEO of the Greeneville-Greene County Partnership
State Representative David Hawk, Guest Speaker
Jason Cody, Executive Director of FTHRA
Cal Doty, Mayor of Greeneville
Kevin Morrison, Mayor of Greene County
Wendy Peay, Executive Director of United Way of Greene County

Each speaker shared remarks recognizing the importance of service and the individuals who dedicate their time to strengthening our communities.

The celebration concluded with closing remarks from Rhonda Humbert, bringing the day back to what it was all about: honoring service, celebrating community, and recognizing the Foster Grandparents who make a difference every day.

To our Foster Grandparents: thank you for your service, your time, and your heart. Your impact reaches far beyond the hours you volunteer; you are helping shape brighter futures for the next generation.

250 years of America: a legacy of service and a community that cares.
