Make it a Good Day
For the Good of You
The simple act of volunteering is ideal for capturing a person’s best side. The time that a person gives to volunteering, generates some of the warmest, most satisfying feelings that make every day, a good day. Like sunshine, these golden hours of giving shine warmly upon the giver and all those encircled by their generosity.
Recently, AVP staff had the pleasure of getting to know a new retiree who wanted to explore volunteer possibilities. After an enjoyable get-to know- you chat, we presented a number of ideas that seemed like a very good fit for him. Soon after, he exclaimed, I can’t believe it, it feels like you are advocating for me! And that is what we have the privilege of doing …advocating for you!
SERVE OTHERS. FEEL JOY. HAVE FUN.
LISTEN. ENCOURAGE. ADVOCATE.
Mr. R, know that we appreciated your enthusiasm. Welcome to the AVP team!
