Be Grateful for Volunteers

Well my weekend was relaxing but productive all in rolled into one! Sunday's rain totaled over 2 inches which is way to much with harvest just around the corner, but am grateful we didn't get as much as other places in the province.
So one of the hobbies my hubby and I enjoy is snowmobiling! My husband especially is happiest out on the trails, and we are so grateful to live only a few miles from groomed trails that connect to the rest of the provincial trail system. And because we are so fortunate to live in this area, we both volunteer alot of our time to the local snowmobile club. I am Secretary/Treasurer and my husband doesn't have a title but puts in many, many days volunteering with trail clearing, marking trails and firewood gathering. We have numerous volunteers in our club and all very eager to help out. Our year end is July 31, so I have been busy with getting that all up to date and managed to get pretty much caught up the last few days.
We also volunteer in other organizations (more about them in future blogs), and fully believe that volunteers make the world go around, without them so many charities, fundraisers, hopitals, and major events would not exist or if the did would be not as efficient or successful. BE GRATEFUL to all those who volunteer, Thank a volunteer today! I am grateful to be able to contribute to my community, volunteering is very fulfilling, but Thankless job. My husband and I do not do it for recognition, but for how we feel being able to give back, enriching the lives of others and making events in our community successful.
How do you volunteer??
Live Life Gratefully and be a volunteer!
