Inspire By Example, Volunteer Today!

In DuPont, we are fortunate to be inspired on a daily basis by the generosity of our volunteers. From our Daddy Daughter Dance to our Tree Lighting Ceremony, our volunteers make a difference wherever they devote their numerous talents and time. We are fortunate to live in an area where volunteerism and community involvement are a way of life for many. The Northwest Landing Homeowners Association is a grateful recipient of the interest and dedication of those who are local and even a few who must travel some distance to volunteer here.

The people who volunteer here are your neighbors and friends. There are those who sit on committees and those that help on the day of the event. It’s a wonderful feeling to spend a few hours or even a day with those that are so interested in giving something of themselves back to the community.

Many of us want to volunteer but are discouraged due to lack of time. There is no denying that time is always in short supply and that we lead demanding lives, leaving little of that valued asset to be used at our discretion. Some of us are overwhelmed by the requirements of demanding careers, long commutes and family life. Often it appears that volunteerism is viewed as a destination, a place we'll one-day reach when we have extra time, perhaps when we retire. Surprisingly, few of our volunteers are retirees, most being people balancing work, school, family life, social life, volunteerism and other interests.

If you've been thinking of volunteerism as a destination, you may be closer than you realize. It doesn't have to be a huge commitment, volunteer hours are flexible. "Some day" can be now. DuPont can be the place you start. We invite you to Inspire by Example -- it's not just a theme, but also a way of life.
