This is something that I posted on the United Way of King County's Blog a few days ago. I think it's still relevant for this though, voulnteer recognition is always fun :) If you read RSVP's newsletter, you can get a better idea of what we actually did for this volunteer. In addition to the party, the volunteer got a poster, flowers, and was able to donate a book to each child in the class on behalf of the UWKC.
In March of 2010 the Volunteer Reader Program celebrated a remarkable milestone: three years of spreading the love of literay to King County Preschoolers! Even more remarkable is the fact that several of our volunteers have been with us since the beginning. We got the opportunity to attend a celebration in honor of one of these volunteers back in May. Not only were site staff, volunteer reader staff, and the children on hand to thank this dedicated volunteer, but RSVP was also in attendance to recognize all of her hard work. RSVP is a program that encourages people 55 and older to volunteer in the community. They offer numerous benefits to seniors that want to get involved with local businesses and nonprofits, and they work hard to ensure that everyone that signs up with them is matched with a project that meets his or her needs and interests. Without the help of the people at RSVP who sent this devoted reader our way, this celebration would never have taken place. You can read more about our RSVP volunteer and the celebration in honor of her three years of service in RSVP's summer 2010 newsletter: http://www.solidground.org/GetInvolved/Volunteer/RSVP/Documents/EIASummer2010.pdf.
