March-April 2003  -  National Volunteer Week 

Remember to thank a volunteer during National Volunteer Week and find out how you can share your time and talents to lend them a hand and help those in need. Let your community and  world know that you care. Celebrate Volunteers-The Spirit of America. VolunteerLEON wishes to express its sincere thanks to the Tallahassee Democrat for their 25 year tradition of honoring our community's most valuable resource.....Volunteers. For

25 years they have graciously hosted a community-wide celebration of the spirit of  volunteer service that has become our community's signature volunteer recognition event. VolunteerLEON's own Amanda Phillips was a winner in the Civic Services category.  Amanda is indeed a very special volunteer. She is currently working on her Master's Degree in Integrated Marketing and Management Communication at FSU, works part time at MGT of America and finds time to volunteer more than 25 hours a week as VolunteerLEON's Special Event Coordinator. Amanda has extraordinary organizational skills that she has used to coordinate "service projects" that have benefited our community greatly. Through her leadership, volunteers built wheelchair ramps and houses, gave birthday parties for children in shelters, renovated playgrounds, did yard work for the elderly, supplied Christmas gifts for those in homeless shelters and more.  Congratulations to Amanda and to all of this year's Tallahassee Democrat's Volunteer of the Year's nominees and winners.
