Thank You: 2009/10 Volunteers
As we begin another fiscal year, we look back at the last 12 months and want to thank all our volunteers. We’re continually amazed by and thankful for the energy, expertise and compassion of our volunteers. During five campaigns this last year, Grounds for Health volunteers took a break from their busy lives and careers to donate over 1,840 hours of their time.
Words cannot express our gratitude. Thank you for all that you do.

Thank you for including pictures of all the great volunteers for GFH. What a great way to acknowledge all the work that our volunteers do. I’m certainly hooked. One day I’ll get to Mexico. 🙂
