We're all busy, right? Raising kids, going to work, walking the dog, surfing the Net, prepping meals, looking for deals on Flipp or Too Good to Go, parsing the JCC pool schedule, carrying out instructions from our kids, wishing we had a dog to walk...whatever. Yet many of our fellow community members make the time to volunteer to do some great things for our community. They are Vigorous Volunteers and they are the secret sauce of our community. We'll chat with three VVs - how many of them do YOU know? And we'll give you a sneak preview of another great volunteer story we'll feature down the road.
