The booth was staffed primarily with volunteers, who <br />spoke firsthand to visitors about their involvement in the VIP Program and <br />how they contribute to the department and community. <br /> <br />Volunteer booth staffers shared information and distributed literature about <br />many of the popular services provided to the community through the VIP <br />Program, including home vacation checks, and serialized and valuable <br />property identification. Home Show visitors also learned how to get <br />involved as volunteers themselves. <br /> <br />In 2011, 94 volunteers contributed 21,905.73 hours of service valued at <br />$477,325.85.* Opportunities for new volunteers exist on the Seniors on <br />Patrol Team, the Squad Car Maintenance Team, and the Subpoena Service <br />Team. Comprehensive VIP Program information including full volunteer <br />position descriptions can be found at www.eugene-or.gov/policevolunteers. For more information, contact Volunteers <br />in Policing Program Manager Carrie Chouinard at 541-682-5355 or carrie.f.chouinard@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> <br />*The national average hourly value of volunteer time is developed by the Independent Sector. The hourly value of volunteer time is based on the <br />average hourly wage for all non-management, nonagriculture workers as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with a 12 percent increase to <br />estimate for fringe benefits. The current hourly wage is $21.79. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />October 18, 2012 <br /> <br />
