AMOREM’s Draco Mortem had a wonderful day at the Lake James Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday. The day started off a little slow but fast enough to qualify the team to compete in their championship division.

Now for the best part…. WE WON!!!! Draco Mortem took the GOLD in the Community Division B group, that included six teams.

We are so proud of this group and thankful for all of the AMOREM team members, their families and volunteers who joined us for such an incredible day.

Thank you UNC Health Blue Ridge for hosting such an amazing event.

We can’t wait for next year!

TONYA STEWART is an Access & Enrollment Specialist Nurse and has been an Amorem team member for nearly 7 years.

ACCORDING TO TONYA...
—What's not to love about my job!? I have the honor of going into homes at difficult times and calming fears, easing worries and concerns. I get to hold hands, wipe tears and say prayers. I have the pleasure of hearing about 70 year old love stories, unwavering faith in God and reunited moments with family.
—My first job was at Tastee Freeze at age 15.
—My favorite way to spend the day off is reading and spending time with my grandson (my favorite human) Xavier.
—What makes me quirky? I am a huge fan of WWE (wrestling). I can hold conversations with the best when it comes to my Boston Celtics and Tampa Bay Buccaneers...even though I never played sports in school.
