Another reason to volunteer!

BECAUSE YOU ARE SPECIAL

We sometimes take for granted
In the rush of all we do,
And forget to say a special thanks
To volunteers like you!
So we send this message to tell you
How much all you do means,
Your gifts of time and of yourself
Are special ones indeed.

Happy Holidays from the VCCV Staff,
