Let's celebrate and thank Kerry’s Volunteers!

Kerry Volunteer Centre is calling on everyone in Kerry to get involved in this year’s National Day of Volunteering, 30th September 2011. The Day, an initiative of Volunteer Ireland and its member Volunteer Centres, traditionally aims to encourage hands on involvement in Volunteering, but this year it has an additional aim to thank, celebrate and recognise volunteering locally and nationally.

The Volunteer Centre in Kerry has thought up a unique way to facilitate individuals, families and groups who are not in a position to host an event to thank and acknowledge the positive role volunteers and volunteering plays in Kerry. You can thank volunteers and acknowledge the role that volunteers play in Kerry by contacting Kerry Volunteer Centre and request to have your name and if you wish a short thank you message added to a thank you list which will be published on the Volunteer Centre’s website on for all volunteers and community and voluntary organisation in Kerry to view on www.volunteerkerry.ie.  Registering your thank you is simple you can email your message to Hannah at hlane This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ,  or call 066 7117966,  write to or drop into  Kerry Volunteer Centre, 7 Maine Street, Tralee, Co Kerry.  Thank you messages received after the 30th September will be registered and be visible on the website on 4th December in advance of  International Volunteer Day  Saturday 5th December 2011. The initiative is ongoing since 2009 with names being updated regularly.
