Celebrating Volunteers
by Andy McAllister, Watershed Coordinator
Volunteerism has always been a part of the American culture, yet volunteers rarely get the recognition they deserve. The Ohio River Watershed Celebration held last week in Pittsburgh was one of those rare opportunities for watershed associations and environmental groups to celebrate their successes while planning for the future. This week, in an effort to continue celebrating and nurturing that volunteer spirit in all of us, we offer an article from TIME magazine which touts national service as a most promising pathway toward civic health and economic progress.
