President’s Message
By Saralee Mogilner
Dear BOND Members,
In past newsletters, you have read my remarks about the significance of BOND’s Mission Statement. Today, I’d like to share my feelings about the satisfaction and the rewards that come from the realization of that mission through volunteerism.
Most importantly, as a volunteer, I have learned how to step outside of my daily life and connect to people and experiences that I otherwise wouldn’t have had the opportunity to encounter. Volunteering fuels a sense of responsibility and motivation as I interact with people who continuously inspire me with their commitment and partnership. Volunteering is another way to offer help, to take action on something important, and to cultivate hope. More than anything, volunteering provides the opportunity to connect with my community in a deeply personal manner.
In closing, I invite you to join our efforts in support of our scholarship funding, our local philanthropic activities, unique programming, and opportunities for social engagement. Enjoy significant and lasting benefits and be assured that with your support, BOND will continue to inspire and introduce a new generation to the transformative power of education!
Sincerely,
Saralee Mogilner
BOND President
