Reid makes rare public appearance in W-B

From the time he arrived in Philadelphia, Eagles coach Andy Reid has been a champion of change.

Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid was featured as keynote speaker for Thursday's Volunteers of America Celebrity Dinner at Genetti's Convention and Hotel Center in Wilkes-Barre.

At first, he promised to turn around the losing culture surrounding the Eagles. When they became winners, he vowed to take them to the Super Bowl. And when they walked away from the NFL's biggest stage three points shy of winning a Super Bowl three years ago, he swore he wouldn't rest until his Eagles attained the title.

It's no surprise then that Reid arrived at Genetti's Convention and Hotel Center to make a rare promotional appearance Thursday at the Volunteers of America Celebrity Dinner.

After all, the organization is just as dedicated to making changes as the Eagles head coach is.

"I don't do much (public speaking engagements) at all," Reid said. "And I have opportunities to do a bunch of them. I kind of like what the Volunteers of America stand for. They're committed in so many areas, helping people become better people and helping people in need become independent.

"It's a tribute to the hard work they put in."
