Next week is National Volunteer week, and Snohomish seniors will recognize the nearly 60 volunteers who have helped to create, coordinate and manage the 25 programs and services at Snohomish Senior Center, as well as its special events and fundraisers.
For 15 years, Snohomish Seniors has operated as an all-volunteer organization. In 2004, volunteers at the center donated 6,267 hours of their time. In addition, the center received nearly 100 hours in donated professional services for accounting and computer support.
Next week, volunteers will be treated to an ice-cream social coordinated by the Reach Out to Snohomish Seniors group from Snohomish High School. Entertainment will be provided by the school’s Swing Dance Club and jazz bands.
