Volunteer Week in Virginia Proclaimed by Governor Kaine
Governor Timothy Kaine has proclaimed April 19-25 as Volunteer Week in Virginia. This coincides with National Volunteer Week, an initiative of the Points of Light Institute. As a prelude to the recognition week, the Governor's Volunteerism and Community Service Awards will be held April 15, in Richmond. Awards will be given to individuals and organizations who have exemplified extraordinary volunteer service. The theme for National Volunteer Week is "Celebrating People in Action," honoring the individuals who dedicate themselves to taking action and solving problems in their communities. Nationally, there will be several recognition events celebrating leaders in the field of service, including a reception on Capitol Hill honoring Senators Kennedy and Hatch for their efforts behind the Serve America Act.
