Guest Blogger -- Julie Brown, RVTD general manager and United Way board member
When I look around the Board table, at the volunteers on committees, or events you get a sense of a caring community.
Howdy! Hope your summer's going great. Here we are rapidly approaching fall. This week's guest blogger is Julie Brown, general manager of Rogue Valley Transportation District. Julie knows community. Her long record of volunteerism includes United Way, Living Opportunities, RSVP and more. On to Julie's thoughts about volunteering United Way...
Everywhere you turn we hear people talk about domestic violence, child abuse, government, economics, unemployment, etcetera and yet most of us shrug and turn our heads and go about our daily lives. I can’t and won’t turn away. I give to United Way financially and through volunteerism because I have seen the difference in our community.
When I look around the Board table, at the volunteers on committees, or events you get a sense of a caring community. Each of us is there for our own reasons, but we have one goal in mind, each striving to make our community a better place. We believe our giving builds a foundation for a great community.
Although I have a deeper reason that I may or may not be able to articulate, my involvement brings satisfaction and completeness to my soul.
Onward,
