Giving of yourself—the best gift of all!

Randall Diamond, Alternate

Each December the Danville Town Council recognizes many of the volunteers who share their time and talents to serve Danville-area residents. The Community Service Award recipients—who are of all ages—have typically “gone above and beyond” in one way or another to serve others. It truly is an honor to acknowledge their contributions at this prestigious community event.

Kevin Donovan

Danville relies on volunteers in many parts of the Town organization. In 2011, over 1,400 families, seniors and youth provided 9,877 hours of service. They worked in the Police, Recreation and Maintenance Departments and throughout other program areas such as Administration, Finance, Planning, and Transportation. The in-kind value of these efforts is an amazing $100,000, which supports the Town’s efforts to cost-effectively provide outstanding service to its residents.

You or someone you know may be thinking about getting out and doing something useful, learning something new, or teaching and mentoring others. Whatever your interest, it’s likely the Town has a spot for you. Ongoing volunteer opportunities in the Danville Recreation Services Department include greeting Art Gallery visitors, driving seniors to activities and appointments, working family-oriented special events, coaching youth basketball, or serving on the Valley-wide Youth Council.

With the soon-to-open, new Veterans Memorial Building and expanded area for senior programs, the Town is especially looking for those who are interested in staffing the front desk.

This would include greeting Senior Center patrons, answering questions about programs and services, registering class participants and providing general office support on a half-day basis, once a week.

If becoming a volunteer sounds interesting to you, please check the Town’s website at www.danville.ca.gov under the Council and Government/Employment/Volunteer Opportunities section to submit your Volunteer Profile, or contact the Town’s Volunteer Program at 314-3458 for suggestions on how you can get involved.

Whatever your experience and interests, we’re happy to find ways for you to share them with others and to contribute to making Danville such a special place to live and work.

Jean’s class was so much fun. I joined two friends who also had never played with mosaic art and we were so pleasantly surprised with our beautiful pots. Jean is a true artist/instructor, who gently guides the novice to more experienced. Better than therapy... as I ended the evening in such a positive space.
