International Volunteer Manager Appreciation Day

Wednesday, November 1 is International Volunteer Manager Appreciation Day. Take time out to say thanks to those wonderful people, paid or unpaid, who dedicate their time to keeping volunteers involved, motivated and safe!

I must admit that I've been very lucky and have had some fabu women (hhhmm... just realised I've never had a male vol manager...) who've kept me up and running over the last six years while doing various volunteer gigs. 

At the Historical Novel Society, I say thanks to Sarah, Trudi, Ilysa and Ellen. I've enjoyed reviewing (almost) all the nearly sixty books over the last six years. They been so incredible at working with me as I traipse back and forth between continents. (I know there are others that I've forgotten here....so an anonymous shout of thanks to them, too.)

At East Lothian Council, up in Scotland, I say ta to Anne, Maureen and Susan. They were fabulous ladies! Thanks to them, I got to do tons of great work with some awesome kiddos. Any future vol managers will have to work awfully hard to top them.

And, finally, here at do-it, I say cheers to Helen. She's been nothing but supportive and encouraging as I wander the world wide web trying to find my way back to a residential vol project in the UK.

Right. So what are you doing still reading this? Google 'free thank you cards' and say thanks to all those wonderful people who keep the volunteer world turning!!
