Since 2002, as a volunteer tutor, I have taught many senior citizens at the local senior center how to use their computers. I have enjoyed meeting and helping many wonderful people. And like other volunteers the joy of assisting someone provides a very special personal reward. But the local senior center goes one step further.
Every year in spring they invite all the volunteers to a volunteer appreciation dinner. As I always enjoy any meal I do not have to cook or pay for, I have attended the dinners each year. The food is always good and the entertainment enjoyable. In addition, I always like the opportunity to meet other volunteers. This year there were a record number of 130 people attending. Had all the volunteers shown up there would have been 250 people. But what is most interesting is that almost every volunteer who serves the Center’s senior citizens is himself/herself a “Senior Citizen”.
