On February 2nd we have our annual luncheon to honor some wonderful people who help make us so successful . . . our VOLUNTEERS! Alzheimer’s Services could not achieve our goals and make that difference in the lives of those we serve without these hardworking individuals. According to a national report by the Independent Sector, volunteerism is assigned an hourly rate to encompass all skill levels. Calculating the hourly figure of $21.36 means that our generous volunteers donated $173,507 in 2011. That is truly amazing!
We will be adding a new staff member next week, Ashley Nobles Motsinger, who will assume the Public Relations/Development Position. My role will change a little. I will be assuming a new responsibility as the volunteer coordinator, as well as coordinating the annual Walk/Run to Remember (October 20, 2012). I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to spend more time with our volunteers. I want to make sure that our volunteers are enjoying a meaningful experience as they share their time and talents with us.
If you have ideas or just want to call and say hello, I’d love to hear from you.
