Volunteering Words of Wisdom

Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless.
~ Sherry Anderson

Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in. ~ Anonymous

We make a living by what we get.
We make a life by what we give.
~ Winston Churchill

We thank, honor and appreciate all our Board members and other Chapter volunteers, without whom this chapter could not exist.
