SAAF will once again shine the spotlight on our wonderful volunteers at our annual Volunteer Appreciation event. This year’s event will take place during National Volunteer Week, on Thursday April 27, 2017; from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Historic Y. Dinner will be catered by Carte Blanche catering, served by SAAF employees followed by an awards ceremony where we will present awards in 21 categories. This is a free event and open to anyone who has volunteered or donated to SAAF in the past 24 months.
SAAF would not be able to do any of the work we do without the commitment of our hundreds of hard-working and passionate volunteers. While we take this time to highlight some of the volunteers who make SAAF such a special place, we hope that all volunteers will come out and be a part of this event as we show our appreciation.
You can RSVP to Sallie Muse, Volunteer Resources Coordinator, at (520) 547-6174 or smuse@saaf.org
