The Extraordinary Value of Volunteers

摘要

This month, Western City focuses on community services and the volunteers who contribute their time, talent and enthusiasm to help others and make their city a better place to live, work and play. Award-winning projects in Cathedral City and Rocklin (on pages 11 and 12) offer excellent examples of volunteer-based projects. My city, Rancho Cucamonga (pop. 172,299), benefits from volunteers' help in numerous ways. Volunteers play key roles in many municipal departments, including community services, library services, public works, police, fire, animal services and community improvement (also known as code enforcement).
