MEMBER NEWS
- January 2012 -
HELLO
MVAC!
We made it through 2011! Congratulations!
The Board would like to thank everyone for their
involvement this past year and especially those
who went above and beyond the call of duty to
fulfill our responsibilities within the
community.
As we head
into 2012, we will need one more person to run
for the Secretary position on the Board. If you
are organized and enjoy taking notes... this
position would be perfect for you. Although we
have others interested in the other three
positions, you are welcome to run for them as
well. We are also interested in securing people
for key roles between now and the Fourth of
July. If you are interested in taking a chair
role, co-chair role, or assisting on a
committee... please let the MVAC office or a
Board member know. Positions such as Coupon
Clipping, Fourth of July Street Fair, Orangewood
Children's Home, Volunteer Recognition Dinner,
Youth Group Advisor, and Arts Alive all need a
leader. If you are currently running these
programs or have done so in the past... please
let us know if you are still interested. If you
are, we would like to have someone work with you
so others can be involved and learn the ropes.
We will be taking sign-ups at the January
meeting.
Happy New Year Everyone!
SANTA &
MRS C. VISIT MV
Santa and Mrs Claus want to thank ALL of the
MVAC volunteers, from chairpersons toelves, who
generously gave up time during the busiest
season of the year in order to help at the
Workshop. An unprecedented number of children
frosted cookies, played with the trains, watched
the movies and, most important of all, got to
tell Santa what they wanted Christmas morning.
During the
ten evenings that the Workshop was open 1,674
eager children were ushered up the ramp to meet
Santa and Mrs C. It is the tradition of
volunteerism and kindness of spirit that sets
our city apart from all the others. Thank You!
COUPON
CLIPPING FOR THE MILITARY

at 7:30 PM on the 3rd Tuesday of each month

coupons for our Armed Forces serving overseas.
If you would like to help bring your scissors
and your smile. Can't make the meeting? You can
still help! You may clip and sort your unexpired
coupons (Food, Non-food, Pet, Baby) and drop
them off at the MVAC Office at your convenience.
UP IN
THE AIR IS COMING
Spring will be here before we know it and that
means it is time to start thinking about the 2nd
Annual Up In The Air Celebration. Mark Nix is
