Volunteering, especially at WVH-King, offers so many priceless rewards! Volunteering at the Home can be tailored to your interests and talents. Volunteers are needed to assist with bingo, reading or writing letters for members, just simply visiting, getting fresh air, going fishing, assisting in the library, helping in the coffee shop, going on shopping trips or other bus trips, just to name a few. If you are interested in joining our fantastic group of volunteers, please contact Vicki Ponedel at (715) 258-5586 x2369 for more information.
VOLUNTEER PAY The following article is reprinted from the June 1983 Courier. The author is unknown. 21 Home News Many times folks have asked me, “Do you get paid for what you do at the veterans home?” My answer has been “Certainly not—I am a volunteer.” That statement started me thinking and I realized I was NOT giving the correct answer. Certainly, I get paid! I get paid when a member says “Thank you” for an eagerly looked-for letter. I get paid when I get a smile for arranging a bouquet of flowers after freshening the water. I get paid in the satisfaction of knowing what may seem like a very insignificant task—helping a member steady a cup—is actually at that moment the most important thing in the world. I get paid in knowing since there are people who must depend on others for help, that I can give some part of that help. I get paid in the friendships I have made and the associations I have enjoyed at the Veterans Home because I know these people feel the same way I do—strong friendships makes one feel secure and no amount of money can buy friendship. There are many things in life which have no price tag and on which there is no room for a dollar sign. It is a small part that I play in this big wide field of service, but do you know something? I feel that I am the richest person in the world. No one can offer me another job at a higher salary as there is no better paying job for me. Do I get paid? CERTAINLY, I GET PAID! If you are interested in volunteering at the Wisconsin Veterans Home at King, please contact Vicki Ponedel at (715) 258-5586 x2369 for more information.
