Did you know April is National Volunteer Month? Volunteers
are the unsung heroes of many organizations and Napa Parks
and Recreation is no different. Volunteers assist our department
in many ways. Here are a few fun facts regarding our awesome
volunteers and what they have contributed this year:
• 259 individual volunteers
• 17 volunteer groups
• Approximately 4,400 volunteer hours;
almost 3,000 at the Senior Center alone!
Volunteer Opportunities Include
• Trail and parks projects
• Planting trees on Arbor Day
• Senior Center front desk greeters,
instructors & special event support
• Coaches for youth sports programs
• Eagle Scout projects
• Special events
• Recently formed Friends of Westwood Hills
When asked about her volunteer service Penelope Webber-Hyde
said, “The interaction with new people and their families coming
in for the first time is my favorite part of working at the Senior
Center. Showing them the facility, explaining the programs and
all that we do and then seeing them come back and get involved
makes my heart sing.”
Thank you to our many volunteers. The gifts of your time and
talents enrich our entire community and benefit all of Napa.
“We make a living by what
we get, but we make a life by
what we give.”
