Praise for volunteers

I would like to praise the volunteers in our district who help us in so many ways and yet get so little praise.

These people, men and women, do so much to make our lives easier.

Here, in our lovely retirement village, we get such a lot of help in many ways such as nail care, meals on wheels, escort duty when we have to visit doctors, go out of town or go shopping with us if we cannot reach a high shelf or read labels.

They do this always with a smile on their faces.

I daren't think what it would do to a country's budget if we put a dollar on this work.

So we do appreciate, say good luck and thank you for the work you do.
