This is the year (2010) which saw the Voluntary Action Center enter the domain of social networking via its entry into Facebook.  Still testing the waters of this medium, VAC is garnering reviews from partner agencies, posting fundraising events, and reviewing other accomplishments.

As the local economy remains sluggish, VAC has seen the need for volunteers rise as other not for profits experience the dilemma of trying to do the same or more with diminished resources.  The unemployed are often so occupied with honing old skills, creating new ones, and plying the job market, that many are too preoccupied to volunteer.  A few have seen the positives of having volunteer work on their resumes, and fewer still have seen volunteering as an opportunity to edge into a new field via volunteering.

The Board of Voluntary Action Center is busy preparing for our annual fund raiser--the Shopping Extravaganza--held at Central Christian Church on November 20, from 10 am - 3 pm.  The Extravaganza brings together many home sales vendors who then have an opportunity to offer their product, book home showings, and develop a wider base for their business.
