Volunteering - Its Place in a Happy, Healthy Retirement

May 2nd, 2008 Tana

Alicia Ashman Branch, Tuesday, May 20, 7:00 p.m.
Learn the benefits of volunteering and explore the incredible variety of volunteer opportunities by participating in this interactive session featuring current RSVP volunteers and staff members. Volunteers have fun, build friendships and share new experiences while giving back to their communities.

RSVP will match your interests and skills with a wide variety of volunteer options in over 80 non-profit and public agencies throughout Dane County. Last year RSVP’s 2,200 active volunteers contributed 190,000 hours of public service—the equivalent of a 90 person company working full-time on behalf of others—and had a great time doing it.

Bring your energy and enthusiasm and RSVP will find you a great volunteer opportunity! Register online or call 824-1780 to reserve a seat.

This program is part of THE NEXT CHAPTER resources for retirees and those considering retirement. The collection, created with a gift to the library from Bob and Carroll Heideman and RSVP, is a resource where retirees or persons approaching retirement can find the information they need to take charge of their future and create a life they love living. The collection consists of books, DVDs, magazines, and other information, complimented by an electronic newsletter sent every other month. Currently housed at the Alicia Ashman Branch, the collection is supplemented by related materials in all Madison Public libraries.
