Why do you volunteer? I feel it is important to give back to your community. Working in schools all my career helped me realize how important volunteers are in the education of our students. I wanted to maintain that contact with students and staff.

My involvement with Senior Resources has made me realize how many senior citizens benefit by the services they provide and how important the organization is in helping seniors remain independent.
