Main Street News: November 14th

During this time of year – and a many other times too – I am thankful for and reminded of our volunteers.  Our Main Street Program volunteers are so needed and I hope they realize how much we appreciate them.  We have a dedicated group who give their leadership to the committees and board on a regular monthly basis and manage the special events.  There are those who pitch in for special tasks like folding 3,000 newsletters, playing Santa, serving food, staffing a registration table, and planting and watering flowers. Often times, I pick up the phone and ask someone for a special task or for some assistance and rarely do I hear the word “No”.  Time and time again our volunteers give of their time and talents with a giving heart to help the Main Street Program.

As a busy time of year kicks in gear here at the office, I realize how much I depend on them.  As always, I am appreciative of the unselfishness they show as they take on task after task.  The Main Street Program would absolutely fold if not for their efforts.

As we count our blessings this Thanksgiving season, take a moment to thank a volunteer.  Barnesville is full of them – they are not just at Main Street, but everywhere we look.  We need them.  Let’s be sure they know we appreciate them. I hope you all have a very blessed Thanksgiving.
