WE RECENTLY CELEBRATED OUR TOP VOLUNTEERS OF
2024 AT THE FRISCO ROUGHRIDERS GAME I AM A VERY BIG BELIEVER IN IS THAT COMMUNITY HELPING
COMMUNITY IS AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THING TO OUR CITY THEY'RE CRITICAL FOR WHAT THEY DO
THEY'RE LIKE THE BACKBONE OF WHAT WE DO IT'S HOW PEOPLE SHOW THAT THEY CARE AND THAT THEY'RE
INVESTED AND THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY CHOOSING TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY SO YOU GUYS ARE
THE EXAMPLES OF THAT THANK YOU SO MUCH HE WAS PRIMARILY A LIBRARY VOLUNTEER AND HE GAVE 69
HOURS IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE BRINGING TOGETHER THE VOLUNTEERS AND THE CITY'S VOLUNTEER
COORDINATORS THAT DEVELOP THESE MEANINGFUL ROLES AND PROGRAMS THAT GIVE THE VOLUNTEERS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY IT'S BEEN A A FUN YEAR I'VE BEEN THE BOOKSHOP
MANAGER OVER AT THE LIBRARY FOR A YEAR YOU KNOW VOLUNTEER AT THE LIBRARY VOLUNTEER AT SAFETY TOWN
VOLUNTEER AS ONE OF OUR CITIZENS ON PATROL THOSE ARE FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITIES THE CITY HAS ALL
KINDS OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO YOU CAN KIND OF DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO AT YOUR OWN PACE
THAT WILLINGNESS TO GIVE OF YOURSELF AND GIVE OF YOUR ENERGY IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND
IT HELPS US TO KEEP A VERY STRONG TIGHT-KNIT COMMUNITY THAT IS SO IMPORTANT AND IT IS PART OF
FRISCO'S CULTURE WHAT'S WONDERFUL IS WHEN WE SEE THEM ENGAGED WORKING AS TEAMS OR AS INDIVIDUALS ON
PROJECTS THAT ARE NEAR AND DEAR TO THEIR HEART THINGS THAT THEY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT IN THE
CITY OF FRISCO IT GIVES ME AN OUTLET TO LEARN SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND TO INVOLVE MYSELF INTO
SOMETHING THAT I HAD NEVER BEEN EXPOSED TO BEFORE IT IS INCREDIBLE THAT OUR VOLUNTEERS FOR
THE CITY OF FRISCO HAVE NOW GIVEN BACK TO THE CITY OVER $1 MILLION WORTH OF TIME
AND ENERGY THAT IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE FEAT AND WITH ALL OF THE DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT
THERE ARE TO CONTINUE TO GET INVOLVED IN THE CITY AND PARTICIPATE I'M EXCITED TO
SEE THAT NUMBER GROW EVEN FURTHER NEXT YEAR
