At last month’s annual Volunteer Appreciation Reception, Oro Valley Town Council and staff had the opportunity to recognize the men and women who serve on Town boards, commissions, committees and other OV volunteer programs. Since not everyone was able to attend, we wanted to publicly offer a heartfelt THANK YOU to the more than 200 Oro Valley residents who volunteer THOUSANDS of hours of their time each year to ensure that Oro Valley remains a community of excellence. And don’t miss this month’s podcast episode about CVAP and volunteerism in the OV! Details on page 2.
