Volunteer Spirit!

A note from our Director, Phil Golden:I think a lot about this community and how all of its various pieces come together.  In some sense, it’s like how the many parts of our bodies function together for our common good.

The buildings are like the bones of the community – life happens inside of them so it’s important to make sure that structure is sound.  Our staff is the heart of the community or maybe its central nervous system – going out and touching everyone here by delivering a variety of services – with friendliness, competence & compassion.   Our residents are the community’s lifeblood – without whom there is NO community, no way or no reason for it to exist.   And our volunteers are a huge part of what comprises the spirit of our community – offering their time and talents in a wide variety of ways – not as a job or for a paycheck but purely for the betterment of those who live here.

Last Wednesday, we honored 39 volunteers (including 11 current residents) who have shared their vibrant spirits with the Springwell community over the past year.  Activities Director Kathy Ullrich coordinated this wonderful event and is leading the growth of our volunteer programs.  I am so happy to see the spirit and structure of volunteerism growing at Springwell and am truly appreciative of all that our volunteers do.  Thank you all!
