I know Lisa and her volunteer work well and in a recent conversation about her 2010 Volunteer Hour tracking, Lisa shared more insight into her contributions to good.
In 2010, Lisa volunteered 443 hours. That's an incredible 8 hours per week average! Most of her hours were given to camp and she says, "don't count sleep hours." So, when she volunteers at a residential camp and sleeps on-site, she only counts her hours during the day, not during the night (that rhymes). If you added in nighttime hours that she's required to be on-site in order to volunteer, her number would skyrocket!
Another wonderful aspect of Lisa's service and committment? Her workplace matches and awards her for her volunteer work. Through volunteermatch.org Lisa's work tracks employee service throughout their organization. Last year the empolyees volunteered a total of 189,000 hours to their respective community, an increase in 2010. This workplace matching program promotes social responsibility and any employee that volunteers 30 hours per year receives $200 to give to their organization of choice. Lisa could have earned that money in her sleep! (Literally!)
365 Days of Service salutes Ms. Lisa Putnam for her unwavering dedication and committment to community service. She volunteers on camp, she works extra hours to be able to take a day off of work to volunteer in the hospital, and she doesn't miss a weekend session. She even asked permission of her husband to volunteer on their anniversary! And Lisa is a true servant with a smile. She is always warm and welcoming, giving every camper and family member the true magical camp experience.
Thank you, Lisa!
