VOLUNTEERS MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
In 2024, volunteers worked 9,520 hours in various capacities. 
Volunteers are the heart of every thriving community. They selflessly give their time, skills, and energy to make a difference, often working behind the scenes to uplift others and tackle challenges.

Whether mentoring, organizing events, or lending a helping hand in times of need, volunteers embody the spirit of generosity and compassion. Their contributions not only enrich the lives of those they serve but also inspire collective action and unity.

​By stepping up to help, volunteers create ripples of positive change that extend far beyond their immediate impact, proving that even small acts of kindness can lead to extraordinary outcomes.

  • Approving funding for equipment and supplies
  • Reviewing our budget and finance direction
  • ​Coordinating with RCSC
  • Reviewing publicity and advertising
  • Exploring outreach efforts

Tom Everitt, editor, has done a phenomenal job creating and sharing this regular correspondence for six years! We greatly appreciate the time and talent that has gone into this publication. Thank you, Tom!​
