We have begun a volunteer
appreciation program to "reward" our volunteers
for donating their time and mileage.
Monthly drawings are done
from volunteers that turn in their hours
and mileage on time, the 10th day of the
following month. Many local
businesses have donated items like fuel cards
and sandwich coupons to help reward the
volunteers for their service.
Don't forget to patronize
the generous businesses that donate to the
