Posted by anon, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Mar 18, 2013 at 9:12 am I always wonder why adults need awards/ceremonies for their volunteer work. I give of my time (and money when I have it) and expect nothing but a "thank you for your help". I would prefer the money used to put on these functions or to pay for plaques stay in the coffers and be used to help those needing the organizations in the first place.
