October 18, 2017

Welcome Adams County RSVP Volunteers, Supporters and Friends,

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the John Wood Community

College campus and to recognize the tremendous impact you make to

this community through your volunteer work. JWCC became the

sponsor of the Adams County Retired and Senior Volunteer Program in

1973 – for 43 of RSVP’s 44 years. We are very appreciative of your

efforts that support so many of our programs and services. We hope

you enjoy your time on our beautiful campus.

The highlight of today’s program will be the special recognition of those

volunteers who have reached milestones in years of service with RSVP.

Special awards will be presented to volunteers who have served for five,

ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty and thirty-five years. We are also

inducting two volunteers into our RSVP Hall of Fame.

I offer a personal thank you to our partner agencies, friends and most of

all to our RSVP volunteers for your help in supporting volunteerism,

national service and making RSVP such a viable and valuable resource

for our community and our college.

If there is anything I can do to assist you now or in the future, please do

not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,

Michael L. Elbe, President John Wood Community College

2017 RSVP HALL OF FAME

Members of the Adams County RSVP Hall of Fame are

chosen because they have given at least twenty years

and 2,000 hours of service to the community through

RSVP or have made a unique contribution to RSVP.

RSVP volunteers will be considered for inclusion into the

Hall of Fame when they have reached both of the mile-

stones listed above and are no longer able to volunteer

because of poor health or death. Members of the Hall of

Fame still living will remain on RSVP’s mailing list to

receive all correspondence and will continue to be invited

to the annual recognition luncheon as our guests.
