The President's Corner
Once
again Volunteer Week has come and gone. It doesn't seem like a year has
passed since we had our volunteer appreciation night. Volunteers are
now a vital part of our society. Voluntarism enhances cooperation and
brings people together in good productive relationships. I would like
to take this opportunity to thank all of you who volunteer their time
so freely.
There are many changes in the near future for Laubach Literacy of Canada and the Provincial Councils. Some of these were discussed at meetings in Ottawa on April 16 and 17.
Our next issue will have registration forms for our AGM in October, 2004. Summer is just around the corner and it's time again to get busy with your fundraising to send delegates to the AGM. I hope to see many of you there!
Monnie Moores, NLLLC President

To All Our Volunteers
Many will be shocked to findWhen the day of judgement nears,
That there's a special place in heaven
Set aside for volunteers.
Furnished with big recliners
Satin couches and footstools,
Where there is no committee chairman
No group leaders or car pools.
No eager team that needs a coach
No bazaars and no bake sales,
There will be nothing to staple
And not one thing to fold or mail.
Telephone lists will be outlawed
But a finger snap will bring,
Cool drinks and gourmet dinners
And rare treats fit for a king.
You ask, who'll serve these privileged few
and work for all they're worth?
Why all those who reaped the benefits,
And not once, volunteered on Earth!
