There
are
two
hundred
and
seventy
five
volunteers
that
sort
of
generations
incorporated
to
you.
They
serve
five
to
ten
hours
a
week
on
the
short
side
of
things
up
to
15
and
20
hours
a
week
volunteers,
all
year
long
they
serve
three
four
hundred
students
twice
a
week,
it's
up
to
the
community,
all
of
us
to
reach
out
and
embrace,
and
you
do
that
every
single
day
find
a
young
person
and
mentor
them,
and
you
don't
have
to
be
a
formal
mentor.
A
Just
sit
down
intelligent
person,
the
importance
of
life,
the
value
of
life
and
how
how
valuable
life
actually
is
in
the
decisions
that
they
make
as
decisions
that
will
stay
with
them
for
the
rest
of
their
life,
including
thing
I'd
like
to
share
a
few
words
which
I
feel
somewhat.
The
mint
was
great
to
work,
rules,
skill
with
the
patient,
experience,
passion,
commitment
and
most
of
all,
love.
