You do that because it is thankless, and I am not looking for anybody to say, ‘Thanks’ and ‘You are great!’  (Great Volunteers Quotes) Our all-volunteer force continues to prove itself with a great level of professionalism, personal commitment and a technical competence that is quite remarkable.  (Great Volunteers Quotes) The idea of kids helping other kids is such a great way to introduce children to being involved in charitable causes and volunteer work, setting them on the path to doing good for others throughout their lives  (Great Volunteers Quotes)
