Volunteer Washington County kicks off
Judge Singleton wants to "connect those with needs to those who want to help." That is what Volunteer Washington County is ready to do. Citizens can go to 1-800- volunteer.org, scroll down the list of member organizations, click on Washington County and sign up to assist others or post a need. Community coordinators are in place for most Washington County communities and they are conduits to reach volunteers when an emergency or need arises. Whatever your interests may be, there is someone who can use your expertise or experience. Volunteer Washington County is especially interested in compiling a list of all the medical personnel in the county for use during a widespread catastrophe. Another list may include those conversant in a foreign language. Libraries and schools can use the services of retired teachers and volunteers. These are just a few of the examples mentioned by Shirley Singleton.
Penny Dendy of Volunteer Mobile said that she had been hoping for years to get a volunteer organization in Washington County. She will be the liaison to Volunteer Mobile which will mentor and assist the Washington County group until they can stand alone.
There was a special tone of satisfaction when Judge Singleton announced, "Washington County is only one of six counties in the state to have such a volunteer organization."
