We gave the 7 of Hearts to Ike.

We went to dinner at the red Fish Grill on Bourbon Street. During our meal we observed a waiter named Ike. It inspired us as he served other people. His energy and enthusiasm showed through in every task he performed. His smile was infectious . He is the epitome of what good customer service looks like. He definitely has a servants heart and puts others above himself. We had our picture taken with him and even though he was not our waiter, we gave him a tip. We will not forget Ike. He made a difference in our lives today. Thank you Ike!

How?

I received this card at the 2017 SHRM conference after listening to wonderful keynote speaker, Jon Petz share his story.

At the end of this past year I found myself lost for awhile in what I wanted to do with my life. Didn’t feel like I had much of a purpose when it came to my profession. After being discouraged from my first job out of school (which was what I went to college for) I was given an opportunity to join the HR team of a human services organization under the supervision of one of the most inspiring HR professionals I know. Throughout my time with this agency I am finding my groove in HR and feel that I have discovered my purpose. I owe all my current and future success to the person who gave me the chance to be apart of their HR team and to find my purpose. And so, I pass this card onto them.

Maine Youth Leadership I will give it to a volunteer in my Key Club who is devoted to service and those around them.

I attended the Maine Youth Leadership Seminar and learned about the story of the 7 of Hearts after doing service at a nursing home. I have always volunteered, but the story reinforced my reason for serving others.

I received it from one of the staff members at Maine Youth Leadership conference. I hope to share it with someone who understands the meaning of caring for others and goes and makes a difference!

I went to MYL this past weekend and we learned some incredible skills and built inseparable bonds with some amazing people. We developed true giving to our community and how much of an impact we can have.
