On Tuesday, April 17, 2018, the Seton Center in Emmitsburg hosted its annual appreciation event at Mountain Gate Family Restaurant in Thurmont. With sixty volunteers and staff in attendance, they celebrated how their volunteers’ “super powers” help to change lives every day.
From April of 2017 through March of 2018, Seton Center volunteers donated over 5,719 hours of service, valued at $97,329.68. While Seton Center approximates the monetary value of their hours, what these volunteers give is priceless. The diversity of their skills and the generosity of their spirits inspire and embolden those blessed to serve beside them.
Seton Center also welcomed its new volunteer partner, Veronica Poole, project director of RSVP (the Retired Seniors Volunteer Program), hosted by the Asian American Center in Frederick. Together, they look forward to a long and fruitful partnership in helping volunteers find service opportunities that are fulfilling and life-changing. If you’re fifty-five or older and are interested in becoming an RSVP member, either through service at Seton Center or another site, contact Veronica at 301-600-7900 or vpoole@aacfmd.org. about the perks and opportunities.
