Seeds of Success

Last June, we had a wonderfully successful volunteer appreciation night. A local theater group donated a free performance for our organization to share with volunteers. The night at the Center, with food (all donated) and drinks to start. Next, there were two buses (donated) that transported all of the volunteers over to the show. During intermission, we had two of our participants who use our services talk about their experience with the Center (Cancer Support Center) and how much they personally appreciate individuals who so kindly give of their time. Following the show, as the volunteers were getting off the bus, staff members handed terra cotta pots with a packet of seeds that read :"volunteers plant the seeds of success" to each volunteer. The pots were decorated by staff in a very simple manner, with ribbon, and dirt was also included so everything was ready to go! The event received RAVE reviews!
