\"\"<\/a>April is National Volunteer Month<\/b>, and Town Hall would \\like to say thank you to everyone who has volunteered with usl. \u00a0Volunteers make our events possible, introduce new people to Town Hall, and offer invaluable support in our offices. More than 120 of you dedicate your time and efforts to help our community–<\/span>thank you<\/i><\/b>! <\/span><\/p>\n

We spoke with a few of our most steadfast volunteers about their experience with Town Hall:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/i>I learned about Town Hall shortly before moving to Seattle in January 2014 and I just knew it would be a place I would feel at home. \u00a0I love being involved with such a vibrant, vital community organization. Town Hall always makes me feel valued as a member and a volunteer. It\u2019s my happy place.\u201d -Wendy<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

“<\/span><\/i>I like that I can volunteer for author talks, radio shows, spelling bees, children’s concerts . . . \u00a0I can also choose to stay for the event or not, and\/or leave early to catch a bus. . . Both the staff and the volunteers are interesting people, and most times I learn something from them during the shift. For the most part, people who attend events appreciate that we are volunteers and are doing our best to make sure they have a good experience.” –<\/span><\/i>Sarah Horrigan<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

“I started volunteering when I moved here. So far it\u2019s been one of the best decisions I\u2019ve made in a long time. I look at Town Hall as my \u201cfood\u201d for thought. So I have dinner there a lot.” -Lucy Bauer<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
