This year’s Viva Volunteers! Fair in Kirkland celebrates the start of 2014 National Volunteer week. The event will take place from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on April 5 at the Peter Kirk Community Center.

Volunteerism has always been a part of our country’s history and culture – a way of life. It is who we are as Americans and recognized worldwide.

The Viva Volunteers! Fair is a great opportunity for citizens of Kirkland to learn about a wide variety of local volunteer programs that benefit people of all ages within our community.

The Viva Volunteers! Fair is free, and is sponsored by the Kirkland Senior Council. This event is a wonderful way for families and friends to share quality time together, experiencing and participating in the legacy of volunteerism that continues to make America strong.
