4 What s Buzzing? BurnsideCenter.com Thank you Volunteers! Page 4 Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in. ~Author Unknown

5 You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give. ~Winston Churchill Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don t have to have a college degree to serve. You don t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. ~Martin Luther King, Jr. Page 5
