SUCCESSFUL APPRECATION EVENT
On Tuesday, September 11th
, over 250 YWCA-RSVP volunteers at-
tended a special appreciation brunch at Calvary United Methodist
Church in Normal. The
event featured a delicious
omelet bar courtesy of Lu-
ther Oaks, and entertain-
ment provided by 30 Fin-
gers. Twenty-six agencies
were on hand to showcase
their services, and the Com-
munity Health Care Clinic
offered free wellness
checks.
The appreciation event rec-
ognizes the valuable ser-
vices that YWCA-RSVP
volunteers provide over the
year. Your volunteer service over the past year has saved non-profit
agencies in McLean County over $1.6 million dollars. Many agencies
have expressed their sincere gratitude for these services, and are able
to expand their mission through your assistance. Your volunteer efforts
truly make a difference in the lives of so many people in McLean
County!
RSVP Volunteers make a “cheers to volun-
teers” in remembrance of those who served our
county on September 11, 2001.

3. WHY REPORT YOUR VOLUNTEER HOURS TO RSVP?
If all RSVP volunteers reported all volunteer hours served at our 96 not-for-profit partner agen-
cies, it would demonstrate 70% more impact of how RSVP volunteers keep children from fail-
ing in school, feed the hungry and homeless, comfort the sick and care for those who need care
the most. Its understandable that you may feel reporting hours is a hassle and the least im-
portant part of your volunteer work, but it is, nevertheless, part of your volunteer work and is
vital to the continued existence and success of RSVP. If you would like to see RSVP continue
supporting our 800+ volunteers and our 96 not-for-profit partner agencies in McLean County,
please support RSVP by reporting your hours monthly! You can submit your hours easily in a
variety of ways:
1 – Visit www.ywca.org/rsvp and click on Online Volunteer Hour Submission
2 – Complete the hardcopy Hour Submission Form included in this newsletter and mail to
YWCA McLean County at 1201 N. Hershey Rd. in Bloomington.
3 – Call or email Colleen Steinberg at 309-662-0461 ext. 267 or csteinberg@ywcamclean.org.
NEW MINIMUM HOUR REQUIREMENT
Beginning January 1, 2013, RSVP will implement a new requirement to remain an active RSVP
volunteer. All RSVP volunteers will be required to serve at least 10 hours of volunteer ser-
vice per year. This new requirement is being implemented to adequately reflect active RSVP
volunteers in our database which will enable future grant reports to be accurately represented.
For any questions or concerns, please contact the RSVP office.
