Volunteer Week in Virginia Proclaimed by Governor McDonnell

Governor Bob McDonnell has proclaimed April 18-24 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. Read the Governor's proclamation [PDF - 143kb].
