This week is "National Volunteer Week."  It is a time to celebrate people doing extraordinary things through service. Established in 1974, National Volunteer Week focuses national attention on the impact and power of volunteerism and service as an integral aspect of our civic leadership. Our state society would not be in existence if it wasn't for all the fabulous people that have stepped up to help keep things running smoothly.
