March 2025
From the Desk of Amanda February was a full month! I visited several of our RSVP stations and met more of our incredible volunteers. Thank you for your hard work in the Durham community. I continue to learn so much about the difference you make each time I visit one of our stations - from reading with children, to packing fresh produce and hot meals to working in community gardens. There is so much good happening in our community! RSVP Speaker Series This month, we welcome Mary Peacock from the Durham Crisis Response Center for our Speaker Series. It will be Wednesday, March 19 from 12:00 - 1:00pm at the Durham Center for Senior Life in the theater. Please join me to listen to Mary speak about the Durham Crisis Response Center.
