VOLUNTEERS - those wonderful people who believe in all work & no pay

The reasons for voluteerism are many - relaxation, social opportunity, altruism, community improvement, recognition and others. However, the most frequently noted reason for volunteering is self satisfaction. The Society could not function as it does without our volunteers, offering many opportunities for volunteer work at levels from skilled to menial.
