SEPTEMBER 11 DAY OF SERVICE

 

HELP US COMMEMORATE OUR COUNTRY’S HEROES:

Tuesday, September 11, 2012 is the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on our country. The Volunteer Center would like you to please honor our heroes wherever you live, by stopping by your local police and fire stations and thanking them for their services. Gather your family and friends and make a card, make a sign, bake some cookies, or just say thanks.
