There will be a Volunteer Recognition Event for Retired and Senior Volunteer Program volunteers who have contributed 20 hours or more this year. To show appreciation, an event is scheduled for Sept. 24 at Wedgewood Cove.

Specific funding for this event is part of the RSVP grant and those invited are asked to attend and share with one another their passion for volunteerism.

RSVP can help you find opportunities for volunteering and direct you to the place that your skills and life experiences will be of the most benefit.

Feel free to contact Carrie Paulson at Senior Resources at 507-377-7433.

RSVP is a federally funded program where individuals 55 or older are recruited to volunteer at various sites and special events. In Freeborn County there are 44 sites that use enrolled volunteers. Many RSVP volunteers are active in various tasks and help many organizations with their daily operations and special events that are planned.
