Central Oregon Volunteer Appreciation Day *
“2013 Volunteers Are Superstars” *
WHEREAS, the people of Central Oregon can affect positive change through any
act of selflessness no matter how big or small; and
WHEREAS, these selfless deeds contribute to a culture of compassion and inspire
others to volunteer their time and services in the Central Oregon community;
whether it be by comforting the lonely, helping the sick, the needy or the disabled,
children, students or the elderly, or by enriching the lives of all through the social,
environmental or cultural service programs or by serving on boards and
committees; and
WHEREAS, volunteer action is a powerful force for the solution of problems; and
WHEREAS, volunteering affords the individual the opportunity to participate in
the life of his/her community, to link his/her talents and resources to address some
of the major issues facing our communities; and
WHEREAS, experience teaches us that government alone cannot solve all of our
communities’ social problems; and
WHEREAS, volunteers are increasingly recognized as an important partner with
government and industry in providing services to citizens; and
WHEREAS, in Central Oregon on May 1, 2013, volunteers will be honored and
recognized by the Network of Volunteer Administrators (NOVA) for their
commitment and for the invaluable services they perform to enhance the quality of
life for all our citizens;
