National Volunteer Week, Do Something For Others And You Get The Reward!

Thank goodness we have lots of people who volunteer their time and services to others, why do they do it?

• Because they showed up at a meeting and raised their hand (this has always been my problem)
• Because they know if they don't volunteer, it won't get done
• Because no matter what kind of appreciation they get, or don't get, they know in their own hearts that they stepped up and did the best they could
• Because the act of volunteering fills a need we have to contribute to our community, some in small ways, some in large ways

So do yourself a favor and volunteer, for something AND thank a volunteer!

• Little league helpers, coaches, team parents, concession stand workers, field workers, umpires
  
• Scouting leaders, school club leaders, special event organizers
  
• Leaders of special events in your community along with all of the volunteer workers
• Firefighters, neighborhood watch, MILITARY
• This list can go on and on, so many volunteers, so little space
