Thunderstorms, butterflies, flowers, freshly cut grass, sunshine, rain (not snow!), warmer weather, the lilac bush outside of the United Way's office (that I am lucky enough to smell each time I walk in and out of the office)....ah, I love springtime!
There are a few special days that come with spring and the next one is coming up this Sunday. To all of the mom's out there...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Here are this week's volunteer opportunities. We hope that you can find something that brings a little "spring" to your step! Contact Sammi for any information on the following opportunities.

to educate people. Denise will receive a lunch for two at Arni's! Congratulations Denise and Thank you Arni's!
