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.

VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION DINNER MARCH 15th, 2023
Our Volunteer Appreciation Dinner took place on Wednesday, March 15th at Palmbrook Country Club. Kudos to Ruth Polansky for organizing the event, Jennie O'Leary for standing in for Sue Blechl who was unable to attend, and Irene Nathanson for helping with the registration table and checking people in.
With a nod to St. Patrick's day, a photo op area was set up and many took advantage of it.

Appreciation awards were given to Cathy Weyers for her many years of service on the Friends Board and for stepping up to be the Bookstore Manager, as well as ones given to Pam Danneman and to Sue Painter for their contributions.
The food was great and the company even greater. A big THANK YOU to all of our volunteers. Without you, we could not be as effective in the community as we are. We look forward to another successful year!
