Sheila Jacobs from Lincoln City Libraries and I attended a proclamation signing by Lincoln Mayor Coleen Seng for National Volunteer Week, April 15-21, 2007. Wayne Svoboda from Volunteer Partners worked with the mayor’s office to organize the signing. This has been an easy way to promote volunteerism and bring attention to our libraries.
National Volunteer Week will fall on April 27th to May 3rd in 2008.
Points of Light supplies a toolkit with a sample proclamation, media release, and statistics on volunteering. Printing companies have gifts for volunteers. We would enjoy hearing about ideas and resources that have worked for you.
