Eine Brücke 1 Volunteers USO Wiesbaden in Action Volunteer of the Quarter Ann Lombardi Ann volunteers in many different areas for USO Wiesbaden. Not only does she help guests in the Cottage, she escorts USO tours as well! Join us in congratulating Ann! Why did you begin volunteering with the USO? Years ago while working in Korea as DoD Basic Education locally-hired teacher, I had the opportunity to experience the good work of the USO first-hand. I was very impressed with the dedication and caliber of the wonderful volunteers and promised myself one day I too would get involved. A retired U.S. Navy officer here in Hessen brought me on base for the first time last July. As soon as I spotted the USO office at the Exchange, I stopped by to find out how I could become a volunteer. What do you enjoy most about volunteering? I teach on the economy in Frankfurt and during my USO volunteer assignments, especially look forward to mingling with fellow English-speakers from the USA and other parts of the world we share. It is great not only to meet a variety of people but also to give back in some small way to the selfless women, men, and children who sacrifice so much for us. Whether it is helping out at a cook-out, pitching in at the USO Cottage, or assisting with one of the USO’s excellent tours within Europe, I am honored to be part of the Rhein-Main team of volunteers. What do you have to say to anyone considering becoming a volunteer? “Just go for it!” You couldn’t ask for a nicer, more appreciative, or more hard-working team of individuals. We roll up our sleeves, try our best to get the job done, and have a lot of fun too. Once you go through volunteer orientation on line, it is easy to put in for a specific event or activity via the USO volunteer website. As a volunteer since July 2015, I have been able to meet Fall, 2016 some terrific people and visit corners of Europe I might not have had the chance to see otherwise. Thank you, USO!
