Appreciation

April 22nd is Volunteer Appreciation Day at the Girl Scouts.  We give them a gift, send them a nice thank you (normally via email) and in the month of April have a banquet to honor them.  I think it is a great idea.  While I don't volunteer to get anything, it is nice to know that people appreciate all of my hard work.

Working for the Girl Scouts -- I am not normally getting the appreciation, I am doing the appreciation.  And that is fine... but there have been times where I have felt appreciated.

Like a month ago when I received this card in the mail:

So sweet, right?  and then there was a year ago when I got a HUGE Hershey's Chocolate Bar in my mailbox.  Our receptionist, Angie, said that she wasn't allowed to tell me who dropped it off.  That made my week, or maybe even month.


It is nice to know that my volunteers appreciate me as much as I appreciate them.  For all of you who volunteer for the Girl Scouts -- thank you!  For all of you who volunteer in other ways -- thank you too!
