'Spring Into Action' for National Volunteer Week

The Volunteer Intergenerational Center has been gearing up to make this year's National Volunteer Week a success. National Volunteer Week, today through Saturday, is not only a time to recognize volunteers but celebrate the spirit of volunteerism.

This year's theme is "Spring Into Action -- Volunteer." By taking part in National Volunteer Week, volunteer programs across America help make a difference in the lives of volunteers and those served.

National Volunteer Week presents an opportunity for individuals, families, not-for-profit organizations, groups and businesses to engage in service. It's about meeting the challenges of society not as individuals but as members of a community with all of us working together. It's also an opportunity to make a change through volunteerism and get people connected to volunteer service throughout the year.

Please consider volunteering during National Volunteer Week. For a list of projects, email rsvpvic@sbcglobal.net, visit www.vicrsvp.org and click on the National Volunteer Week icon on the home page or call the RSVP/VIC office at 335-7555 or 887-3664.
