This year the theme is, Every day in every way . More than two million Minnesotans serve their communities in positive and significant ways. It is because of our many volunteers that Minnesota leads the nation in quality of life. Minnesotans give more of their time and money than any other state, with the value of volunteer service provided equal to 5.3 billion dollars annually. Nationally, the average is 49 percent according to the latest Gallup Survey.
Volunteers serve in many ways in our community.
Volunteers are serving on city of Little Falls boards and commissions, they are cleaning up parks and roadsides, they are participating in long range community planning, they are helping senior citizens and our children, and the list could go on on. It would be very difficult to go through a day without coming in contact with someone donating their time here in our community. From preschool to the Senior Center, from the hospital to Pine Grove Park, we in Little Falls are indebted to our volunteers. I would like to publicly thank the following people who give of their time to the people of Little Falls by serving on city of Little Falls bureaus, boards, commissions and committees. Airport Commission - Karl Kieffer, Arlin Lundblad, Don Rudolph, Clayton Olson, Bob Erdrich and Joe Sauer.
