Like others have said, "if it weren't for volunteers . . ." Working in a hospital we see what our volunteers do, and we have to admit that the hospital could very well flounder if it weren't for what they do, and they do it with a smile.Mary Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077077785157768787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-12981423752419399862007-09-27T19:23:00.000-05:002007-09-27T19:23:00.000-05:00Volunteers do make our communities better places. ...Volunteers do make our communities better places.

It's much harder because I work 40 hrs a week and then still have to come home and work some more, so that cuts into volunteering time. My contributions are usually monetary.<BR/><BR/>Hi Susie,<BR/>Thank you on their behalf. Mom and Dad are pretty well-recognized in their community and beyond. They've lived in the same community for 47 years, so that helps in the familiarity department also.<BR/><BR/>Hi Larry,<BR/>I took a Red Cross CPR class a long time ago and since I don't work in a health-related field, I've never re-certified. I seem to remember hearing about some changes in the procedure though.<BR/><BR/>Hi Mary,<BR/>I think it's a pretty big honor for them although Mom tended to downplay it a little bit. I'm looking forward to seeing them in the parade!<BR/><BR/>Hi Jayne,<BR/>It is a pretty neat thing for them to be recognized for all their contributions to the people and community over the years.<BR/><BR/>Hi Mom,<BR/>I thought you guys would like seeing this and I wanted to make sure the siblings got a chance to see it also, and a blog posting just seemed to be the easiest way to share it with everyone.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-38084649621621669242007-09-27T13:29:00.000-05:002007-09-27T13:29:00.000-05:00Ruthie,Thank you for the free publicicty on your b...Ruthie,<BR/>Thank you for the free publicicty on your blog, it was very sweet of you.
