Please join volunteers from this and many other Ulster-County based service agencies to come together and celebrate the volunteers who give so much to make our community such a special place. The picnic and music will be fun, family-friendly and free for these community volunteers, who will all be celebrated as Guests of Honor at the event. RSVP is required, so please let us know as soon as possible if you’ll be able to attend by emailing volunteer@ulstercorps.org or calling 845-481-0331.
