The same offer applies to the 12 Eden Prairie Women's Network Luncheons. At the February General Membership Luncheon of the Chamber, we honored Jeanne Zetah, Eden Prairie Schools, with the second annual Charles DeBono Volunteer Appreciation Award. Jeanne is a shining example of real commitment to her community and the Chamber, in a very unselfish and heartfelt manner. There are many other examples of volunteerism that we often overlook in our every day activities. The week of April 9-15 is Minnesota Volunteer Recognition Week, a time to celebrate the many volunteers who have made a positive difference in the Eden Prairie community.
Volunteers provide compassion and energy in helping to build healthy, vital communities.
However the need is great and there are many opportunities for everyone, whether you can give your time once a week, once a month or once a week. I would like to thank those who volunteer their precious time to the Eden Prairie Chamber. The people who serve on committees, task forces and the Board of Directors give freely of their personal resources to make this a better community in which to live and do business. The Chamber also challenges others to become involved in our mission. Committees need a variety of opinions and ideas in order to develop policies for Board approval or to set up new programs.
