April 27 - May 3, 2003 is National Volunteer week. Across our nation, tens of millions of volunteers share their time and care, to help build stronger communities. By mentoring students, visiting patients, caring for the elderly, and in countless other ways, they bring to life the spirit of giving.

These caring people deserve recognition for the priceless contributions they make, and National Volunteer Week provides a great opportunity for you to honor them. Ever since President Richard Nixon proclaimed the first National Volunteer Week in 1974, it's been celebrated annually as a way to acknowledge the service of our generous volunteers. During this week, take the time to show appreciation to our community volunteers!

If you would like to become a community volunteer, call the Calhoun Family Resource Network at 354-7177.
