“2012 Volunteers Help Others Bloom” *
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

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;
