Congratulations to CVN's Recurring Volunteering Committee

Earlier this month, CVN's Recurring Volunteering Committee received an Arlington County Outstanding Volunteer Team Award for their service in 2010.

The 2010 committee consisted of Meredith Meade, Marjorie Censer, Brynn Slate, and Jon Bunger.  Meredith served as Committee Chair, Marjorie led a group at the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC), Brynn led the Arlington Traditional School (ATS) garden group, and Jon led a group at Cherrydale Health & Rehabilitation Center.  The three recurring volunteering initiatives took place a total of 24 times, engaging 118 volunteers for 236 hours of service.


In 2011, volunteers continue to help out at AFAC on a recurring basis.  Additionally, the ATS garden group has expanded and now regularly helps out at Tuckahoe Elementary School.  To get involved with either recurring volunteering opportunity, please send an email to Brynn at cvn.r.volunteering@gmail.com.


Congratulations to the Recurring Volunteering Team on this well-deserved award!  And thank you to the team and the volunteers who joined them at service projects for making a positive difference in Arlington.

Recognizing CVN Volunteers During National Volunteer Week

Sunday kicks off National Volunteer Week, Celebrating People in Action.  Community Volunteer Network (CVN) will be celebrating a specific person who has been very active for the last year.  Brendan O'Connor, the Chair of CVN, is being recognized on Sunday with an Arlington County Outstanding Volunteer Award.  Brendan earned this award through his dedication, leadership, and innovation.

CVN runs smoothly because of hard-working volunteer leaders like Brendan, but it is the large number of active volunteers that make CVN such a success.  Last year, 177 people engaged in service through CVN.  Through your energy and enthusiasm, we are able to have a major impact on the Arlington community, and show that Arlington County's fastest growing part of the population (the 20/30 somethings) are also some of the most committed to building community.  Thank you for your service.
