March into the Volunteer Spotlight

By Cindy Pao, Technical Writer

At our community meeting last week (April 8), Linda King asked new members, members who have been away for a while, and visitors to introduce themselves. Linda does this each month, and it’s a really neat exercise.

Each month, I (or someone like me) gets up and thanks the previous month’s volunteers. Usually, I stand at the microphone and say the names. This month, I tried a variation on Linda’s approach. I still read off the names, but I asked all of the volunteers to stand as I read their names. They stayed standing until the list was complete, and then I told the newcomers that these are the folks who run our community.

Thanks to you, March volunteers! You move us; you shake us; you march us right into the halls of STC distinction!
