On Sunday, August 13, Alton Baker <br />Park was filled with good vibes at the 5th Annual City of <br />Eugene Volunteer Celebration to honor their work. <br /> <br />Staff and elected officials hosted volunteers and their <br />families to a barbeque dinner, raffle prizes, live music by the <br />Tim Clarke Quartet and a KidZone complete with a clown <br />and face painting. Mayor Piercy and City Manager Dennis <br />Taylor remarked on their personal experiences with <br />volunteerism over the years and their respect and <br />appreciation for those who give their time and talents to the <br />community. <br /> <br />During the year ending June 2006, the greatest number of volunteer hours was served with the Eugene <br />Public Library (21,842 hours), Volunteers in Policing (18,949 hours), and the Senior Volunteer Program <br />(12,974 hours). <br /> <br />Some City programs involved a greater number of individual volunteers for fewer hours, such as for one- <br />day events. Programs with the most individual volunteers in the past year were Neighborhood Services <br />(4,640 volunteers), Volunteers in Parks (573 volunteers), and Eugene Stream Team (562 volunteers). <br />Hundreds more volunteered in key roles with the City's programs for Hendricks Park, NeighborWoods, <br />Solid Waste and Recycling, Support Hult Center Operations (SHO), Adaptive Recreation, Teen Court, <br />and as members of many boards and commissions. <br /> <br />Volunteers in all City programs share the satisfaction of making a vital contribution to their community. <br />Volunteering with the City also offers diverse benefits, including learning new skills, being outdoors, <br />enjoying cultural resources, being physically active, meeting great people, and having fun. <br /> <br />A brochure about the City's volunteer programs is available through the City Manager’s Office. For more <br />information about the annual Volunteer Celebration, contact Carrie Peterson, park development <br /> <br />coordinator, at 682-4907. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />September 7, 2006 <br />
