Ambassadors did a great job serving in 2012. Thank you to all Ambassadors that served your communities AND remembered to report your hours! One hour of volunteer time is valued at $21.79, but is priceless in our communities!
“Don’t spend your precious time asking “Why isn’t the world a better place?” It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is “How can I make it better?” To that there is an answer. ~Leo Buscaglia
