I hope you’ll take the time to read the profile of our 2018 Volunteer of the Year, Tom McArthur, found on the centerspread. Tom and our other wonderful volunteers have put in over 4,359 hours of service for KSPS in the past year. These are very dedicated and delightful supporters who staff the front desk, work in the office, take calls for pledge campaigns and serve on the Board of Directors and the Community Advisory Board. Volunteers make events happen — like last year’s visit by The Wall That Heals and FitKids Day. If KSPS had to pay to staff all of these functions, it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. No kidding! A huge thank you to Tom McArthur and hundreds of others who volunteer. If you’d like to become part of our team of volunteers, call 509-443-7700…and join us in making 2018 the best year yet!
