Woot!  Woot!   This week is 

National Volunteer Week (4/18 - 4/24/21)
Typically DVPA hosts and invites all of you to  attend all the local city and county proclamations, of course not feasible or happening this year.  However here's the national and state ones that can be shared virtually with your volunteers!

Presidential  Proclamation 
(done annually regardless of party or affiliation)

WA Governor Proclamation
(
we can email directly to you since it's not online yet)

Some organizations typically do their recognition event during this month, but of course we are in different times right now.  However do what you can to recognize your volunteers:   let them know an event will be planned after the pandemic, send out a special newsletter, post your appreciation on social media, and if possible, do email (or call) those that you connect with  to thank them for making a difference and supporting your cause with their generous gift of time (a most precious gift for humans to share)!


Here's some 
interesting facts about volunteerism nationally 
(CNN article released just prior to the pandemic).   
WA state ranks 17th in the nation for volunteerism
(not too bad out of 50+).

Thanks for recognizing our community supporters....   
We are so grateful for their generous hearts!!!
