Tickets are still
available for Celebrate Volunteers, a festive, fun and non-competitive
volunteer recognition event, hosted by the Volunteer Center of Bergen
County. On Thursday, April 3,
the men, women and young people who give their time to help others will
be honored at Bergen Community College in the Moses Meeting and
Training Center, 400 Paramus Road in Paramus. The evening begins with a
6:00 pm dessert reception, followed by an inspirational program at 7:15 pm.
Non-profit and government agencies – including libraries, hospitals,
senior centers, schools, religious organizations and municipalities – as
well as businesses and corporations, are invited to bring volunteers to
whom they want to give a public pat on the back.
“This
event is a great way for organizations to honor their volunteers,”
explains Janet Sharma, the Volunteer Center’s executive director.
“Celebrate Volunteers will inspire us all.”
This year, agency and corporate volunteer managers will participate in
the celebration by sharing stories that highlight the accomplishments of
their volunteers. TD Bank, one of Bergen County’s most outstanding
corporate citizens, will provide an overview of their community
involvement efforts. Pascack Valley Meals on Wheels will highlight some
of its programs, especially those that showcase the vital role of
volunteers. The evening will include a photo montage of volunteers from
local agencies, hard at work to make the community better.
Every
volunteer at Celebrate Volunteers will receive a special gift and
certificate of commendation. The venue allows groups to sit together to
enjoy refreshments and festivities in a comfortable and intimate
setting. Reservations are on a first come, first served basis, and can be made by reserving online or calling (201) 489-9454 x118. The cost is $ 10.00 per person.
Synetek Solutions and TD Bank are Gold Star Sponsors of Celebrate
Volunteers. Additional sponsors include Inserra Shop Rite Supermarkets,
and iBid.
