Preparations are being made for the Fall Recognition Banquet at which time we show our appreciation for the many hours of service provided by RSVP volunteers. We thank you for the unselfish gifts of your time and talent given to your neighbors who may need encouragement to deal with the stress of their daily lives in these uncertain times.

They also benefit from the companionship and interaction with the volunteers. You make a difference in so many lives and we see the result of your caring and compassion.Thanks for all that you do for others and the entire community!
