Volunteers of America Week, <br /> March 7 -14, commemorates the founding of our organization on March 8, 1896. <br /> We are one of Minnesota's largest human service organizations. Year after year, more than <br /> 90% of every dollar we receive, we spend directly on program services...for the people we serve. <br /> I am asking you to proclaim the week in our behalf. Your personal proclamation will be <br /> encouraging to those who receive services in Falcon Heights, or its nearby communities. <br /> Through the years, Volunteers of America has demonstrated it is a dynamic organization <br /> keeping pace with the everchanging world around it. Now more than ever, we recognize the <br /> constant need for developing new and more creative ways in solving problems, meeting community <br /> needs, and improving the overall quality of life for all members of our society. We must <br /> continue forming partnerships, bridging the gap between human needs and the resources of the <br /> public and private sector. <br /> Something wonderful is happening in Minnesota, because of you! Your interest and support <br /> makes a significant impact on the success of our organization. And, as you know, our success is <br /> measured through the lives of those we touch. <br /> Respectfully yours, <br /> �7Zt 4 <br /> cri4;./ <br /> James E. Hogie, Jr. <br /> President <br /> JEH /dc <br /> Enclosures <br /> P. S. Your proclamation, along with other proclamations and letters, will be duplicated and put <br /> into booklet form. A booklet commemorating our 97th birthday will be placed in the <br /> reception area of each of our programs and senior dining sites. <br />
