of the Hospice to help us fundraise events and special projects,” said Jeanne Davidson, executive director of the society. “We have a lot of volunteers who want to work with clients but don’t enjoy fundraising. On the other hand, there are a lot of people who don’t want to do the hands-on work
with clients, but are interested in fundraising,” said the society’s president, Don Davidson. “People have different skill sets and different amounts of time available. Some people couldn’t commit on an ongoing basis to a specific client.
