Greetings from volunteer central at the North Conway Community Center. We were pleased to celebrate volunteering with AmeriCorps Week last Friday along with eight fantastic AmeriCorps volunteers.
AmeriCorps week is an opportunity to recognize the commitment of the millions of Americans who have chosen to serve their country through AmeriCorps with service projects.
