Greetings…
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers among you!!!
It is springtime in Columbus Ohio and the Peace Garden is again calling for TLC from volunteers after the long hard winter. This is a follow-up letter giving you again the date (Saturday, May 14) time(10 am – 2 pm), place(Franklin Park)and some details. Yes, it is going to be a working picnic and time to socialize and keep in touch with your friends from tmhe international and local community. Please bring your favorite dish to share. Kindly pass along the attached flyer and invite friends.
Columbus is celebrating the Millennium in 2012. It is a yearlong celebration. We are participating in the festivities so please come with ideas for activities that IVO can do involving the International community in Columbus or the Columbus community in general. We need your input.
WELCOME to our new members!!! We would like to invite the rest to join us. IVO is a consortium of volunteer organizations with global connections seeking to improve the quality of life in local communities. Due to popular request, the LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP PROMOTION HAS BEEN EXTENDED!!! Thus we are currently running a LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL for a limited time at only $50.00 instead of the regular $500.00. Many IVO members have been involved with the Peace Garden and Volunteer Wall of Honor, the Health Fair and Outstanding Volunteer Recognition at the Columbus International Festival. IVO has also facilitated sending instruments abroad for use in hospitals and national Health Departments. We are currently involved in developing volunteer initiatives, the Mosquito Net Project to control the spread of malaria (We just sent $1000.00.), Global Health and other interesting programs. Global exchanges and goodwill missions are being considered. All contributions to IVO are tax deductible.
