Just in the past year the volunteers have given more than 80,000 hours to 102 not-for-profit organizations in the area.
At the reception, some of the volunteers talked about their involvement in RSVP. They said RSVP is important, because it keeps senior citizens active and gives them a sense of being needed.
Congratulations to every RSVP volunteer. Your efforts genuinely are appreciated.
