Greetings!
National Volunteer Week is April 6-12, 2014 and is about inspiring, recognizing and encouraging people to seek out imaginative ways to engage in their communities. It's about demonstrating to the nation that by working together, we have the fortitude to meet our challenges and accomplish our goals. We plan on celebrating our many volunteers that support CRC programs and the thousands of volunteers who support the sector! Mark your calendar and plan on giving all your dedicated volunteers a big THANK YOU!

"Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love."
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much"
-Helen Keller

"It is not enough to understand, or to see clearly. The future will be shaped in the arena of human activity, by those who are willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the task."
-Robert F. Kennedy
