Volunteers Are Special

I attended an appreciation event at a high school this morning. A group of our special ed volunteers honored our site and others with appreciation plaques! Very special. The volunteers wrote a few words and gave brief speeches to present us with the plaques. I'm really glad I was able to attend. My colleague and I noticed the reaction of several special ed volunteers whose "bosses" were unable to make it. They read their speeches anyway but you could feel the quiet disappointment. Things like that remind me of the vastness of the impact of volunteerism.

What have been your reactions to similar volunteer events? Send a post!
