Thank you to everyone who attended our Volunteer Recognition Party last Thursday at the Village of Oak Creek Country Club. Nearly one hundred volunteers – and a couple visitors – celebrated who we are as volunteers and the miracles we witness through our service with Verde Valley Caregivers.
Magical Michael made the rounds as we enjoyed a terrific lunch and then wowed us with amazing yo-yo tricks. Kent reviewed the tremendous volume of service in each category as we raised our hands to show our participation. It was great to look around the room and see who is serving in each way.
Roger led everyone in telling our miracle stories of volunteering, and challenged storytellers to briefly write-up their tale and send it in for posting on the website. Click here to read the first one!
Kent and Roger reviewed what’s new and what’s coming – including info about Care Transitions, the website, and e-newsletter, and Volunteer U. Board Member Jo shared developments with our Pay Forward Merchant fundraiser, and we wrapped up with raffling off a half-ton of donated prizes.
Thank you for your positive comments and suggestions about the event. We enjoyed the energy in the room, appreciated putting faces with names, and enjoyed the stories. Let’s not wait a full year before we gather again!
