"Part of the wisdom of aging is to find joy
even in the simplest of situations. When we
live our lives to the fullest, we are going
to make the little things in life
wonderful and good and important!"
Quote by Louise Hay
The XARSC Volunteer Recognition was held on Saturday April 27th at XARSC. OVER 40 Volunteers from 2018 attended this "sweet" event. The theme for this day was: "Volunteers make our jobs much sweeter" and included games and trivia all
about SWEETS! The food chosen for the reception was none other than SWEETS! Even the door prizes were, you guessed
it, SWEETS! It was a very SWEET Day! A HUGE Thank you
to every single volunteer that gave the gift time in 2018!
We couldn't do this without you! Special recognition to
Fran Hageman, our Volunteer tax lady, as she was honored
as 2018 Volunteer Of the Year!
