Writer Elizabeth Andrew said, âVolunteers do not necessarily have the time, they just have the heart.â
The Historic Downtown Glendale Merchants Association recently recognized six of its volunteers. The celebration event was held leading up to National Volunteer Week, which is the third week in April. This national recognition was established 47 years ago and is a time to celebrate people doing impactful things through service. Approximately 63 million Americans volunteer annually.
The Downtown Glendale volunteers who were recognized included Sue Berntsen, Nancy Houck, Yvonne Knaack, Barbara Lentz, Becky Shady and Davita Solter.Â
The volunteers provide a wide array of services to downtown, including visitor services, event planning and hospitality.Â
