November, 2022
Dear friends,
The fall has been busy and just gets busier. This month we have many exciting developments, including the launch of our brand-new website. If you have not yet had the chance, make sure to take a look at www.hvousa.org. We have a new, more user-friendly layout, new articles on our blog, and a new section called Stories that Inspire. MyHVO, replacing the KnowNET, will be added soon, and will provide volunteers with easier access to all the resources they need for their volunteer assignments. We hope you enjoy the new design as much as we do.
On our new website, you will also find information on our Golden Apple Award. Each year, HVO honors members of our community who have made an exceptional contribution to our mission. We are now accepting nominations for the 2023 honorees. If you know of someone you feel is worthy of recognition, please visit the link below to fill out the nomination form. We look forward to hearing from you about all the phenomenal work our volunteers, partners, and supporters have been doing.
Now is also the time to start thinking about #GivingTuesday, taking place this year on November 29th. #GivingTuesday is not only a chance to make a meaningful contribution to HVO’s mission, but also a time to show your support on a day meant to bring us together as a community. Follow our campaign via social media as we count down to #GivingTuesday and its celebration of generosity and connection.
I look forward to sharing this season of growth and giving with you.
Sincerely,
Nancy
Nancy A. Kelly, MHS
Executive Director
