KIM’S KORNER APRIL 2019
Spring is finally here!!! We have had a long winter but finally the sun is shining, and flowers are starting to bloom. When I look around the Horizon Center and see all the people coming out to participate in programming and services and volunteering it makes my heart happy. This is the time of year where things are fresh and new. We have a new look at the Shelbyville Horizon Center and are excited to have everyone come and see. We were very fortunate to be chosen for the “Give Back” community Project this year from Shelbyville Paint, Flooring and More and Benjamin Moore Paints. They donated all the paint and supplies and their time along with providing wonderful volunteers to paint the interior of our offices and the center. We also had a great group of volunteers from Indiana Grand and Runnebohm Realty on “Giving from the Heart” day for SCUFFY who painted the cabinets in the center, and Freeman Family Funeral Home donated a large new smart TV.
April is Volunteer Month. Please mark your calendar and come and celebrate with us on April 26th from 2:00 p.m.to 5:00 p.m. for our Volunteer Open House. We would love to see all the people who help make our visions and programming come true. We have so many wonderful people who believe in our mission and this is our time to give back to you for all the time that you have given to us. It is a small gesture but please know that it is from our hearts.
These are just a few of the volunteer opportunities that we have available for anyone who would like to help further our mission such as Board of Directors, Friendly Visitors, Gleaners Truck, Hands at Home Project, Calling Bingo, Teaching classes and programming, and Volunteer Desk.
April is our month to let you know just how much we appreciate all that you do for us and the time that you give out of your busy lives. We would not be able to accomplish all that we do without volunteers. Thank you so much.
If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity please call Buffy Powers at 317-398-0127 and she will work with you to see what opportunity best fits for you.
