Recognizing Our Longest Serving Volunteers

Risa Davidson We often say that Our Companions couldn’t exist without our volunteers. This isn’t hyperbole: it would be utterly impossible for us to accomplish a fraction of what we have without the generous donation of time and effort of our over 130 volunteers.  
It’s also inspiring to note how long some of our active volunteers have been with us. A few of them go back to the very beginning of the organization.
We’d like to introduce…our longest serving volunteers!
