National Volunteer Week April 7-13 By Shari Harris Co-Publisher “What is the essence of life? To serve others and to do good.” Greek philosopher Aristotle taught this important truth more than 2300 years ago. The living proof of this can be found in Licking and many other communities in our area. Volunteers are vitally important in many places throughout the area, but the United Community Help Center and the Senior Center volunteers are these organizations’ life blood. The United Help Center volunteers met at Olig’s BBQ to celebrate National Volunteer Week. Volunteers who are just as important but were not available for their picture included Diane Perry, Jackie Keaton, Reggie Ward, Paul Miers, Tony Yates, Isabel McConnell, Tom Gale, Larry Keaton, Shelby Breedlove, and Dean Karnes.
