In observance of Volunteer Recognition Day, I want to take this opportunity to thank all the Volunteers of GWRRA. You, the Volunteers, are the key to our success, and we are fortunate to have the best volunteers around. Volunteers who put in countless hours: some by phone, some by computer, others by traveling and donating time at rallies. Many of you put in endless hours working behind the scenes, never asking for recognition or even a thank you. Your willingness to unselfishly share your time with other Members has enriched many lives. You always rise to the occasion and manage to go that extra mile for fellow Members. For your hard work and dedication to GWRRA, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Melissa Eason
Executive Director
