April 29 - Celebrating Volunteers

April 29 brings us to the end of a busy week. It was National volunteer Week and many people were involved in organizing and participating in events and activities to celebrate.  Many thanks to all of those who were involved.

Lyle and I were fortunate to be invited to several celebrations. Of course, one of these was in recognition of our participation in the local White Cane Support Group. It was a great evening with so many committed volunteers in attendance from community groups ranging from Boy Scouts to Victim Services to environmental, drama and sports groups. It was an inspirational evening and I think that most of us came away with renewed energy and enthusiasm for our various causes.

The picture with this post is of four of us from our local support group. Lyle and I are seated in front and Doreen and Lynn, two dedicated volunteers, are standing behind us.  In the foreground you can see the red tablecloth set prior to the meal and in the background there are two screens showing the action on the stage. It was a memorable evening.
