International Year of the Volunteer!

Volunteers

The following poem was created by Yvonne Westall, a Laubach Literacy New Brunswick student, and the LLNB Student Representative. This is what I feel about volunteers:

Volunteers are like Telethons. They go on and on.
Each year their volunteerism touches the hearts of so many others.
They generously dedicate their time to get involved.
Their commitment deserves special recognition.

Volunteers are like High Grade Performance Oil.
A little goes a long way.
They stick together the framework of good communities, committees and organizations.
They are the wish bone of many organizations.
They participate eagerly and inspire others to follow.
Without volunteer's strong back bones, many groups would not survive.

Volunteers are like Special Cards!
They care enough to give their very best.
Volunteers have Visions of victory.
To help others that might fall through the cracks.
They need a special seal of approval by everyone.
Without volunteers, the lives of others would be all downhill.

Volunteers are like Hair Gel.
Their goodness holds in all kinds of weather!
Their hard work and friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold!
But their true value is far greater than a mountain of gold.
Giving guidance and support to others.
True charity is sharing with others in the time of need.
We all need their help!

Volunteers offer Great Relationships.
If it weren't for them, many people would not get a chance to communicate with others.
They enrich the lives of so many.
Volunteers are part of so many families.
We must appreciate the fact we have so many wonderful volunteers in Our Organization!

Our volunteers are like Air Canada.
They make the going great for so many!
We should be proud of each and every one. All!
Volunteers need to be acknowledged and shown our appreciation.
Thank you all
