Your volunteer BDPA hours COUNT and so we want to count your hours...we will use this information to report to federal, state and local governments and for grants and other funding sources. Locally, by tracking the volunteer hours generated by BDPA volunteers, we demonstrate where the community needs are by your time and the dollar equivalent of your volunteer service. Collectively, these hours demonstrate what an asset BDPA volunteers are to their community. We understand that reporting your volunteer hours may be a nuisance, but it is necessary and tells a meaningful story about all of you. Please use this URL link http://bit.ly/yFArNm to submit information and give the best estimate of the number of BDPA volunteer service hours for 2011 (last year). Thank you!
