It's Up To You

One song can spark a moment, one flower can wake the dream.

One tree can start a forest, one bird can herald spring.

One smile begins a friendship, one handclasp lifts a soul.

One star can guide a ship at sea, one word can frame the goal.

One vote can change a nation, one sunbeam lights a room.

One candle wipes out darkness, one laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey, one word must start each prayer.

One hope will raise our spirits, one touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom, one heart can know what's true.

One life can make the difference...sometimes it's up to you!

Presidential Endorsement

President George W. Bush gave the following tribute to volunteers that echo the gratitude and appreciation that we feel for our volunteers:

Compassion Is the Work of a Nation -- You Give a Priceless Gift as Volunteers

Our nation's strength comes from caring people like you, who put the interests of the community and country ahead of their own. As more and more Americans join together in a spirit of generosity, your contributions become more important than ever. We are all grateful for the positive influence your compassionate work has had on so many lives!

As you continue in your path of service, setting a shining example for everyone whose life you touch, we hope you realize how much we appreciate your efforts. We know that you don't give of yourself to receive glory and praise -- you give because of your generous heart. Please accept our gratitude for going above and beyond. You truly make a difference!
