Hey everyone! I know it's a little late but April 15th-21st is Volunteer Week!
"National Volunteer Week: April 15-21, 2012
Established in 1974, National Volunteer Week has grown exponentially in scope each year, drawing the support and endorsement of all subsequent U.S. presidents, governors, mayors and other respected elected officials.
National Volunteer Week April 15-21, 2012
Celebrating People in Action, presents an opportunity for individuals, families, nonprofit organizations, businesses and government entities alike to celebrate the ordinary people who accomplish extraordinary things through service.
National Volunteer Week embodies the energy and power volunteers evoke on a daily basis as they lead by example—not only encouraging the people they help, but motivating others to serve as well.
National Volunteer Week will be celebrated throughout the Cedar Valley. The volunteer recognition and activity schedule includes the following:
April 17 - Volunteer Tuesdays: Students will assist Community Main Street, Cedar Falls, with outdoor spring clean-up.
