What is a volunteer? “A person who voluntarily undertakes or expresses a willingness to undertake a service. “ Volunteers are needed in every aspect of our communities today. They make festivals happen, they save historic buildings, provide workers at blood draws, provide glasses, make an event happen, mow a neighbor’s yard, take a meal to a friend, help with the youth, coach, clean up highways. Opportunities abound in the State Line Heritage Days to volunteer, but also everyone to take a look around and see how you can help a friend, neighbor or group. Volunteer today and you can make a difference in your community.

It will soon be time to return to school and many events will be scheduled. We will attempt to keep up to date on what is happening here in Union City, IN-OH. What have you done for your community? Join the movement in Union City, Indiana-Ohio!
