RSVP - Why You Should Join
by Ken Siarkiewicz

RSVP - Retired and Senior Volunteer Program - is a national program in which volunteers use their skills and talents to help others in their need. Locally, our branch serves both Gila and Pinal counties with a variety of programs that are funded through grants from the Federal Government. These grants are just like the grants that fund Community Outreach activities and are awarded on the merit of the program and the impact to the community served.  As a member of RSVP you will still do what you are currently doing for Outreach. The only additional action on your part is to report your volunteer hours and miles by day of the month, rather than a simple total for the month. What you get is supplemental accident and liability insurance that covers you during your volunteer activities, including driving to and from your volunteer station.  Do you like to double your coupons at the store? As an RSVP member your volunteer hours will double in benefit. First, as always, the hours you report help the Outreach grant writers win those grants and buy clothes for the Kids. In addition, your hours will help the local RSVP office qualify for larger grant monies which fund the many programs for the needy families here in Pinal County, the same families of which our Kids are a part.  There are three simple requirements to meet. You must be at least 55.  You must be at least semi-retired. You must fill out a simple one-page application form. The insurance is nice to have and it is free. It is nicer to know that reporting the hours you volunteer will help the Kids and their families in more ways than you will ever know.  Click here for application form or contact Ken Siarkiewicz at 818-0425 or EmilieS1@mindspring.com to obtain a copy of the application form. They will also be available at the Outreach General Meeting.
