Volunteer Opportunities Across the Area

Good morning – Congratulations and thank you to all the volunteers who joined us last week at the 30th Annual Community Volunteer Recognition event. It was a great day and we are most appreciative to Congressman Gerry Connolly for taking the time to enter the names of over 1,900 local volunteers into the Congressional Record of the 113th Congress. Many thanks and Cheers to all!
