HandsOn Greater Huntsville December Newsletter 2010

Greetings!

We are thankful to all of you that participated in our November volunteering opportunities, including Family Volunteer Day, Operation Stand Down, and gathering Toys for Tots (as our Business Volunteer Council has been busy doing!) 
Through our donation sites at local library branches the community donated over 800 articles of clothing to Operation Stand Down, the event held the weekend of November 13 for our homeless Veterans.  Also, on November 21st we had over 100 participants help make greeting cards for Huntsville Hospital Patients, walk dogs for Huntsville Animal Services, and beautify the landscape at 305 8th Street group home - as a part of Family Volunteer Day.

We hope you enjoy celebrating the upcoming holiday's with your families and we thank you again for your service to our community;  the spirit of volunteerism is growing and spreading thanks to your efforts.

Sincerely,

Mona Foroughi

Volunteer Coordinator
