How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment
before starting to improve the world.

Congratulations to the Honorees of Darien Volunteer Recognition Day!
The 30th Annual Volunteer Recognition Luncheon was held on Friday, May 15th. Forty-one individuals and nine projects were honored for their active volunteer work.
The 5th annual Obie Harrington-Howes Community Spirit Award was presented to Enid Oresman.
Over $600,000 will be granted in 2009-2010!

Thank you to the over 50 community volunteers who helped assure that our donors' dollars are wisely and responsibly allocated. Their job included reading agency applications, reviewing financial statements, visiting each agency and asking questions. Grants to 27 agencies for 2009-2010 were approved by The Community Fund Board of Directors.
At any given time, one in every five young people is suffering from a mental health problem. Two-thirds are not getting the help they need.
