Award & Appreciation Film
Volunteers, thank you for the many devoted hours of help you have given unselfishly to RoHoEn over the last year. JFG has decided to have our Annual Volunteer Appreciation Event online this year due to Covid-19 social distancing and event gathering restrictions. We are creating an appreciation and award film with words from our President and Executive Director as well as many of your own voices. Volunteers will be invited to watch the film together on Zoom (those who are uncomfortable with zoom will have the option to watch the appreciation film on Youtube on their own time). It is our heartfelt goal to bridge the physical distance and extend our heartfelt appreciation to you through this film and Zoom watch party! Please click on the link above to join the Zoom event with your password.
