April, National Volunteer Month

"There's nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer." - Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle

April first became National Volunteer Month as part of President George H. W. Bush's 1000 "Points of Light" campaign in 1991.  Volunteerism is a service to a cause, a passion, and a devotion to making a difference in someone's life.
