GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS!!

I would personally like to thank all the volunteers for their time and dedication to our North Rich County RSVP team. As a volunteer, it is not about getting recognition, it is about enabling ourselves to help others in a selfless way. I have been fortunate to coordinate the efforts of this dedicated team for 6 months now. We are a cheerful dedicated group of volunteers, which makes a difference in our community no doubt.

I am mentioning their names here to thank them for their help in service. This coming year will be a new challenge for us as our parent/host group steps out of the picture at the end of March. It is our goal to gather speed and size to continue doing the work we do.  The below volunteers involvement has helped us grow, learn new ways of service, provided a fun atmosphere and strengthened many personal relationships with others.

Names are not listed in any particular order, I'm quickly noting their names and their city and trying to get this article to Bess for publication in this weeks paper.

Tracey Horsley: Laketown

Kris Batty: Laketown

Betty Mills: Laketown

Carmen Madsen: Garden City

Bess Huefner: Garden City

Louann Christiansen: Garden City

Dawn Brady: Garden City

Iris Niesen: Garden City

Chris Smoot: Garden City

Barbara Turnbow: Garden City

We all have gone through training, are background checked and are here to serve. I am anticipating opening up for new volunteers later this year once we transition away from Sunshine Terrace. There will be several ways of volunteering, so if you are interested we will be glad to have you join us. I will get the word out. You can always contact myself, perhaps we can utilize you prior to then.

I would also like to thank Hannah Cragun from Sunshine Terrace for providing this opportunity to us, and getting things going. We will miss her involvement as we know it.

Happy New Year to all!
