I was really pleased with those guys. Winning discus at that meet is a huge accomplishment.

Clint Lawhorne

(Volunteers) give them that extra attention that every student needs and deserves.

Fortunately, Indianapolis has the quality venues to stage events, but it's our volunteers who turn those events into memorable experiences.

Bob Schultz

It is very important to remember volunteers, firefighters and law enforcement, all of the service providers who help us to have safe lives. We should not forget them, only to remember them when a 9-11 happens. But it is so easy to forget and we have to remind ourselves of the purpose they serve.

Charlie Nardozzi

We built 20 showers for the tent city for future volunteers.

The event grew like an acorn into a giant oak tree in one year. The dedication of the volunteers who hold this event is beyond any adjectives that could describe it.

Katherine Klem

I can't believe there are so many volunteers. I'm extremely grateful for the effort ACORN has made. This is such a great help. I could not have had my house cleaned without the help of ACORN.

Gail Tucker

We're making a credible posture and a presence. There's no shortage of volunteers -- it's amazing, the volunteer spirit of our people.

John Newman

As always, the House of Bread will need volunteers that day. We will begin at 9 a.m. and finish at 2 p.m..

The greatest need for donations is money, but bleach, bottled water and any canned goods with pull tops are needed.

Lisa Davis

We've created a list based on calls and then we go to the house and talk to the people. When volunteers come in, they evaluate the situation based on the testimony of the people and difficulty of the task and the volunteers determine what they will be able to do.

Rev. Carlos Wilson

Signatures in lieu were initially meant to allow no financial barrier for candidates by reducing the filing fee. Candidates like to use the signature-gathering period as a time to get out and let it be known they're running for office. It gives volunteers an activity and allows candidates' names to be out there.

Ryan Ronco

It is a fun race, just enough to be challenging, not long, but not a sprint. It has great atmosphere, weather, a warm pool instead of a cold lake and excellent volunteers, most of which have been at their points for 19-20 years.

When we came up the road, people were on both sides waving, clapping and crying. We were so well-received. I can't describe how beautiful the volunteers were ~ there's not enough I can say about those people.

Cathey Lewis

We want the members to have a vote if they feel it's important. If they perceive it as a benefit, we want them to have it. Without our members, we wouldn't be anything. We rely on our members. We rely on our volunteers. We have some people doing community service hours. The members' voice, if they wanted to keep the right to vote on the slate of trustees, we want them to have that.

Susan Forbes

Along with volunteers comes misuse of funds, not having proper knowledge of policies and procedures and codes of conduct.

We're in the process of asking for volunteers, and they will be down there approximately three to four weeks, ... (But officials) have to come up with where these people are going to stay, and where they'll eat. They also don't know what kind of authority (the officers) would have.

Richard Hyde

You can't, in good conscience, ask volunteers to quickly do a major Web site overhaul and then ask them to consistently meet the large weekly demand for agenda, minutes, calendar and other updates, ...

John Ritter

Four volunteers have put this event together. The individuals who ate the most cabbage last Friday were crowned Cabbage King and Queen.

Jens Finke

I don't have anything against any of them, ... They are volunteers, and I appreciate what they did. My job is to do what's best for the city.

Paul Pawlowski

All of us as volunteers, many of us are donors ourselves. We do need to make sure that the money is going to those in the greatest need.

20,000 great residents, 6,700 taxpayers, and nearly as many volunteers.

Teri Hatcher

It is just a wonderful feeling to be able to give something to someone you know would not have it any other way. The volunteers who come out are great and they want to help and it has been a wonderful experience.

Denise Martin

We're still soliciting ideas and volunteers. The more volunteers the better.

Will Price

The reason the 55-Plus Club is successful is that I stay out of the way. They have committed individuals who plan all of the activities and prepare the calendars. Those volunteers make the difference.

Don Decker

At one point Thursday, we were lined up at the door with people wanting to donate money. We've called in extra volunteers to help answer our phones because they are ringing constantly.

Jenny Lehman

The medical volunteers have come in to fill a critical need and their support has been immeasureable.

Robert Fraser

We'll need hundreds of volunteers for that.

Barbara Morgan

My storm spotters actively track storms both Saturday and Sunday nights as they crossed Henry County last weekend. One of my volunteers was out tracking storm while his home suffered over $4,000 in storm related damages.

Bob Easton

There is not a precinct, township or county where we don't have some volunteer or staff assets working to make sure voters are turning out for Jim. We have volunteers working the phone, door to door and getting last-minute cards out to friends.

Joe Wiegand

That would be a good time for people to make donations to the Red Cross or United Way in memory of those who have lost their lives due to Hurricane Katrina or in honor of our local people who help us every day like our volunteers, firefighters, members of the armed forces, or other disaster assistance groups.

Judy White

And our volunteers don't just go in and read. They bring them presents, they bring them treats.

Once the house is completed we will have a team of student, administrator and teacher volunteers who will travel to Louisiana to complete the project. We have the support of the National Guard to take care of our volunteers while they are there.

Maryann Jakubczyk

Our volunteers' hearts and souls are with these students and you can't pay for that. Money can't buy that kind of commitment.

Debra Conner

We need a lot more volunteers.

Marilyn Bouldin

This shows what volunteers who kept their faith in 'the system' can accomplish. This effort was the essence of 'grassroots democracy' and commitment to this community.

Walter Braswell

In addition, our volunteers are, and will for quite some time, be working to get their lives and businesses and those of family and friends back in order.

Don Thompson

The building that has been the museum's home since 1938 was never designed for that purpose. It was originally a cavernous convention center and hockey rink that despite the outstanding efforts of museum staff and volunteers over the years, has been a difficult space in which to produce exhibits.

Marta Howell

These volunteers are wonderful. Some have been here since 5:30 this morning setting up and directing vendors. They are helping everywhere. It's a sea of yellow T-shirts.

Carolyn Coates

A lot of this stuff wouldn't happen without the volunteers since we're a nonprofit organization.

Mark Konlock

We always found the right person at the right time for the right job. Of course, you need volunteers, and we had so many who contributed.

Russ Pate

At that time, I and many volunteers felt encouraged and that our efforts were worthwhile.

Frank Hsieh

It has been a delight to work with both of these dedicated volunteers. Their service has been very valuable, both on the board level and also on the program level. It is very unusual to have spouses both serve on a Board of Directors.

Don Heller

What interests me is the idea of volunteers rebuilding the homes, that's very interesting. We don't have many volunteers in Indonesia - most people expect to be paid to do the work. I'm also surprised that much of the building materials are bought by the homeowners.

Ayu Kodrat

The volunteers put as much into the decorations as they can so we don't have to buy everything.

Kristin Booher

There isn't a lot of cost to this project. It just takes some volunteers.

Robert Rose

The volunteers are really going to like that.

Noonie Boldon

We have volunteers to help people sort items. Our niche is people who want an alternative.

Roger Lyon

We have volunteers who work as a friendship team with the partner mother. As friends, they help each other through whatever life offers. Sometimes that means sharing good things, and sometimes not. They encourage and help each other. We have support people who offer information and resources, as well.

Alversa Milan

H-E-B embodies an incredible level of dedication in helping end hunger. This is demonstrated through its generous donations of food, funds and volunteers.

Robert Forney

The Drivers are doing good, sales are doing good. We just did a huge mailing for volunteers and got good response from that. We're ahead of where we've ever been.

Jim Kline

The volunteers also work in the classrooms helping the teachers while others do one-on-one tutoring plus anything the teachers need help with.

Oleta Johnson

It made me proud that we had volunteers down there.

David Seibert

Starting yesterday, we activated our volunteers and found how many and which ones would be available.

David Pollock

Hopefully we may have many volunteers of the future among the hundreds of children here today.

Allison Smith

Most search-and-rescue teams are never paid for what they do. They (the teams) are (made up of) all volunteers. Even the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) teams don't get paid unless they are on an actual mission.

Scott Shields

There are certain jobs that go on all year round. We'll have about 100 volunteers active a couple of months ahead of the fair, and then double that number during the fair; and we can always use more.

Barbara Puffer

We're paying for that through our own donor base, through volunteers and grants.

Jerry Ryan

Volunteers are the backbone of Special Olympics. There are a variety of ways you can help out.

Mike Sutton

For the most part, these folks are all volunteers and they've been fighting their hearts out.

Paul Hannemann

It has been a challenge. But our staff and our volunteers have really worked hard to put it together and we've been able to make it happen.

Bruce Binkowski

We're so small, everyone has to be involved in everything. These are all volunteers. No one gets a dime and they're spending their own money on gas and babysitters as well as other donations to the play.

Terri Bushman

I can see us eventually taking on more of the administrative workload and freeing up volunteers to do what they do best: working with the students. I think this is a great bridge between town and gown.

Peter Briggs

We've never had this problem before. I've told contractor volunteers if you can't figure out for sure where the right of way is, just move the signs back to where others (storefront signs) are. We are making every effort to conform.

Carl Weinrich

We are strictly volunteers and our volunteers help supply our materials. Mrs. Edith Harper has been instrumental in helping us with supplies. Just recently she brought us pencils, pens, art paper, construction paper, markers, and writing paper. She does this out of the kindness of her heart.

Phyllis Nisbett

All the volunteers and people who have come out have been great. They have really shown a commitment to making this a great event.

Brook Smith

We just had to tell the stories of these amazing volunteers, who left their families and jobs in some case to work around the clock at the most dangerous disaster site in history—Ground Zero.

Lou Angeli

There's a lot of opportunity in your county. I would love to see an office here and have volunteers here ... a few hours a week or every other week. That's something I think could really help this county.

Heather Proctor

The ideal is one case per CASA. ... We desperately need more volunteers.

Connie Haines

I'm looking forward to that. If I've done my job before the tournament, I won't have to do much because the volunteers do a great job.

Bill Provo

It takes a lot of work and volunteers and we come here after work... after our 'eight to fives' and on weekends to get these ready for kids to play, and that equipment helps us with that.

Blake Child

Predators of children take jobs that put them in close contact with children, such as teachers, volunteers, Scout masters, bus drivers.

Stephanie Vaughn

More than 200 volunteers came out to help us, and our community, as always, really stepped up to support us again this year.

Peg Stipetich

We tend to concentrate our volunteers in the two dry seasons, spring and fall. The worst things are rain-outs.

Richard Hulbert

When our regular volunteers come out here for the first time and saw this, many of them started to cry. It's been very emotional for all of us.

Melinda Rueter

It went well. We had plenty of volunteers and wonderful feedback from the people who drove through.

Rev. Rusty May

It really is designed to be a fundraiser, but the other objective is to honor outstanding volunteers that deal with the youth of Pacific Grove.

Linda Pagnella

While we are well known for our volunteers working tirelessly to build homes and provide a 'hand up' for low income families, that work is only possible as a result of the dedicated efforts of our Habitat affiliates in nearly 1800 communities in the United States.

Chris Clarke

That's all they (the Red Cross volunteers) can handle, ... We don't want people just sitting there for nothing.

Rob Nelson

Some groups are worried that, if that happens, they won't have the volunteers they need.

Jennifer Best

Something has to be done. Many of the volunteers have been volunteering for 10 to 15 years. They're burnt out.

Mark Anderson

The dinner is to honor our volunteers who are all unpaid men and women. These people put in a lot of hours and are required to have a lot of training including a 150-hour training course. The demands are great.

Keven Besana

It is essential for people to volunteer. The Red Cross chapter in Camden County consists of volunteers only. All the classes and training are provided by volunteer efforts. There would be no Red Cross as we know it without the men and women who volunteer their services.

Sarah Wood

We're trying to get [them] involved as volunteers for skill development type clinics and to speak to coaches and athletes about how neat it is to participate at the national level.

Rick Ertz

The goal is to recruit 40,000 new Red Cross volunteers to come and help in shelters and serve meals and help at help sites and help at delivery sites throughout the affected area.

John Degnan

This project is open to everyone on campus. We're trying to get volunteers to sign up and go over spring break.

Brittany Stanley

We have a happy workplace. The group we have-staff and volunteers-mold together well and have fun while here.

Carleen Courtney

We had 450 volunteers and 236 dentists from 38 states.

Barbara Rollins

Volunteers represent all ages and walks of life. We have college students as well as retirees. Everyone helps however they can. For some, this means doing the actual repairs. Others, we call the support team, run errands and bring food, water and Gatorade to those on site.

Faye House

We can't order supplies or anything like that, but we know how to knit, crochet, tat and embroider. Other volunteers do needlepoint, so we can help customers with just about anything. We have volunteers stopping by to help file patterns and bring food to Barbara. We're just meeting a need.

Betty Connell

It's our way to commemorate the volunteers.

Pam Beckstrom

We are shocked about the symptoms we have seen in the volunteers. Extensive pre-clinical tests showed no sign of any risk.

Thomas Hanke

We are also looking for volunteers to help plan the parade and assist the parade committee on the day of the event.

Randy Grismer

We recognized that people didn't have connection to the outside except by telephone. That really limits their connection to the outside to connect with family. Plus, these folks have been traumatized by this tragedy. Having them work with the volunteers to find their family is also a cathartic experience.

William Reed

These are not first-time volunteers. They are very community-minded, and they have long histories of doing really cool stuff with United Way and other charities across the country.

Cliff Smith

We've got more (volunteers ) in the pipeline. We are aggressively calling (the national chapter) to tell them we have people (ready) to go.

Kelly Brown

I feel that the membership and the staff and volunteers need representation.

Don Sheldon

We just don't have enough volunteers, ... It's tough enough to get volunteers to do the field maintenance, concession stands, picking up the garbage ... and killing hornets.

Gordon Patterson

I have brought blankets, rations and mineral water for the victims. I and my volunteers are going to camp in Uri.

Yasin Malik

The legal profession volunteers millions of dollars in free legal services to the poor, but lawyers alone cannot meet what should be recognized as a responsibility of government. Without restoration of this critical funding, countless poor and low-income New Yorkers will be unable to protect important legal rights.

Vincent Buzard

We really need more volunteers. We had a bunch of people sign up right after 9-11. Since then, the numbers have leveled off and people are hard to find. The biggest problem we have is when we get people trained to have them willing to help when called upon.

Martha Minnich

It is essential that we continue to educate administrators, coaches, parents, players, staff and volunteers on the negative effects of hazing.

Bob Nicholson

That's why the group of volunteers from the senior volunteer program, who've done a lot of study, can really guide you through the program without any bias.

Carolyn Stuercke

We're always looking for volunteers.

Janice Glaze

But other than that, the airlines are doing this on a volunteer basis. The crews on board are all volunteers.

Jack Evans

Those volunteers that do everything out of the goodness of their hearts are extremely valuable to us.

Beverly Griffith

This tremendous show of support for improving the community is a tribute to the unconditional caring of our young people. It is heartening to me, our staff, our sponsors and all of our partners and volunteers to see the wonderful efforts of this next generation of leaders.

Jerry Peterson

That's what we do best at our fitting stations. We rely on volunteers, we train volunteers, and we help people to provide education to parents and help keep kids safe.

Melinda Howard

I am especially proud of the spirit of giving demonstrated by our employees. In addition to the funds our employees donate, our employees give their time as volunteers at schools, community organizations and special events that help improve the quality of life in the communities we serve.

Bob Mcgehee

We're really appreciative of the residents in that Boothby Road to Sea Road area and for the KBIA (Kennebunk Beach Improvement Association) for allowing us to utilize their property as well. And we really depend on volunteers so a large thanks goes out to them as well.

Jeff Cole

I think other bowls relying on volunteers and all that, if you have to train a new volunteer every year, that gets kind of chaotic. Our idea was if the media are happy, they are going to say good things.

John James

[The employee volunteers realize they're not working for a money-making entity.] Maybe it's denial, ... One guy who's been coming in likened it to battered-wife syndrome: You refuse to leave because you believe you can salvage something.

Tim Winter

We have a taxing authority but we do not have a tax base at the present time. We're relying on volunteers and once in a while we might get a small grant.

Ray Cox

There are so few of us so lots of jobs that are supporting the teaching are done by parents. We have lots of volunteers and they come in and support the school.

Rachel Phillips

We could always use more volunteers because people have to wait (for their meals). But the devastation here isn't as great as you would see on the Gulf Coast.

Michael Hepp

Employees, medical staff, volunteers and visitors who use tobacco are not required to quit, but only refrain from using tobacco products while on the hospital campus. However, if people do want to quit we will have support programs in place to help them.

David Griffith

The results of these surveys will let the EDC, local business volunteers and city and county governments know if the events center is something the public truly wants to move forward with.

Liana Wallace

Volunteers are working extremely long hours. But problems are emerging, and people are complaining about the lack of adequate response by the Red Cross. This is a problem we need to examine carefully.

Havidan Rodriguez

It's very important because it gives us a chance to be visible in the community, so people can see what we are doing with our children and volunteers.

Debra Walker

Our funding is solely from grants and private donations. Local costs include recruitment, training volunteers and supporting direct advocacy for abused and neglected children.

Brie Bickley

With the help of Courtney and local volunteers across western NSW we are hoping to send a strong message to people diagnosed with cancer every year in our region, ... We believe that together we can defeat cancer.

M. Powell

We'll need a lot of volunteers to open their homes. We won't place any of those until after May 1 when we know who is certified for the ride.

Beth Richardson

Normally when we build, we build all the walls in our warehouse in North Fort Myers, drop the walls on-site to where the slab has been poured and volunteers raise walls on the slab. This is definitely something we've never done before but it's been a great experience.

Dani Johnson

Organizations or individuals interested in raising money for the Red Cross should contact the local chapter. The chapter will give them guidance and whatever available assistance is possible whether its signage, officials banners or volunteers if available.

Travis Strack

The actual shelters are being run very well, with thousands of very big-hearted, generous volunteers.

Bill Allen

All the material needed to do the work is here, and we have some volunteers who would be willing to help. All it would take is somebody who is handy and really cares about wanting to make sure the the job is done right.

Virginia Jackson

This is a testament to the power of volunteers. Who knows how far we can take it. I would love to see this place in use every night of the year.

Steve Lemoine

The more than 1 million volunteers who support the America's Second Harvest Network each year are critical to the work we do, and ultimately to the improving the lives of the 25 million Americans we serve each year.

Robert Forney

It depends on the volunteers - how much time they have and what they want to do with the house.

Rev. Carlos Wilson

We're at around 1,200 registered volunteers. That's a really good testament because this is kind of a vague thing, but it's a really important volunteer job, and we're still recruiting.

Jennifer Cole

I am always amazed each year at the support that comes from the community for this event. We have over 100 sponsors, and we will have more than 200 volunteers coming out to help us.

Peg Stipetich

We really had a diverse group of kids. They had different kinds of disabilities. These children are too young to participate in Special Olympics, so this offers them an outlet to participate in a game that they may not otherwise get to play. It is a really special time for not just the participants, but for the families and the volunteers too.

Chris Richey

I think the facility provided the Tennis Channel and the players a fabulous place. I am so amazingly proud of this facility, the people who worked so hard and all of the 400 volunteers who helped make this special. People were amazed when I told them this was a municipal facility.

Sandy Foley

He wanted to make sure the board understood that they (Gonzalez and her volunteers) do an outstanding job and are a value to the county. But the recent disasters have really drained community support at this time.

Paula Harvey

Successes are successes and failures are failures; we've definitely had our share of both, but we're [reaching] more donors and volunteers all the time.

Carl Kurz

We are hoping for a banner year and looking forward to an impressive turnout on this, our 20th anniversary of the New York State Beach Cleanup. We want to thank all of our volunteers and the organizations involved. Without their support and time, this event would not be possible.

Barbara Cohen

I'm going to be one of the food service managers. Basically, I'll be feeding volunteers and athletes both before and after events and during breaks and lunches.

Beth Swenson

Volunteers ripped out our drywall and put new boards in, and then painted it.

Rev. Gary Arndt

Although they are at different skill levels, working with a traumatized and bereaved population was new for all of them, ... And despite the fact that many had no formal training, the degree of caring and thoughtfulness these volunteers have is amazing. And most of all, their hearts are broken for the community, for what was versus what is.

Lisa Aronson

Carolyne has been a godsend. She did all the work and kept it going, handling the public relations and volunteers.

Carolyne Norwood

We really appreciate all the volunteers who make this happen. We urged people to go downtown. For instance the Wagon Wheel was the place to go for a burger and to catch basketball on TV.

Bob Carlson

We wanted to see how it worked and test the quality and quantity of the food received. I was very impressed with the value, quality and quantity of food. I've been equally impressed with the willingness and eagerness of the volunteers to put this program into action.

Astrid Maples

Europe?s credibility. I am worried that there may not be any volunteers to follow up.

Francesc Vendrell

We're donating the materials and helping with the design. But the kids, along with volunteers, will plant their own garden.

Ron Reed

April 12 was a great day for defenders of Medicare. All Canadians should be breathing a little easier today. We are going to celebrate, thank our volunteers and then it is back to work watching out for the next privatization attempt.

Harvey Voogd

We spend quite a bit of time talking to pet owners. Our volunteers are amazing. They're the most caring group of people I've ever come across.

Mimi Beadles

We're a very small group, and we are desperate for volunteers.

Barbara Brown

It's controversial because when they started they told us it was a grass-roots effort and would be done entirely by volunteers in the community.

Larry Pearson

We will have a meeting sometime in the upcoming months to start to look at next year. We might add fruit trees, but we need to discuss what all that this will entail in terms of work and volunteers. Regardless of what we decide, I certainly do not foresee any diminishing of the program in the future.

Robert Crandall

While New Orleans needs money, at this point it desperately needs volunteers to help the hundreds of thousands of people who don't have the resources to get carpenters and contractors to fix their houses. They need motivated college students.

Heidi Fieselmann

It was recognition for our volunteers. There are so many (volunteer) hours that go into an organization like this and ... this year was even tougher and more challenging than other years because we had so many additional people in the community.

Mary Wormington

This is a major undertaking. The society is a group of volunteers, all very committed, but still volunteers with limited time and limited experience in fundraising. We realize we need some expertise to guide us.
