[OMS_MANAGERS] Volunteer Appreciation Month

[STUART Sheri * OPRD]

As volunteer appreciation month wraps up, I wanted to share a brief note of appreciation to all who contribute to your local main street organizations. Collectively, over 30,500 hours were contributed in 2023 to our main street track communities and cumulatively, since 2010, over 341,312 hours.

Thank you for all who serve on your local main street board, on a committee, or as an event volunteer. The gift of your time is enhancing the vitality of your community.

Attached are a couple resources I found on Main Street America's website on engaging more people in your work:

  *   Growing Your Volunteer Program: an article by a New Jersey community on their approach
  *   Youth on Main: engaging young people in Main Street

Cheers, Sheri
