A special ceremony was held to honor the commitment of volunteers to our community.

Volunteers are the core of our community. They help out with behind the scenes tasks, promote leadership, provide music and laughter, create fellowship and most of all sit quietly and listen when someone needs to talk.

Many of our volunteers say they receive great satisfaction and have met more people by getting involved and they hope to inspire others to volunteer by saying, "Yes I can, and so can you!"

Thank you for all you do!
