Partners Volunteers honored at White House 
During this year’s National Volunteer Week, Partners was honored by having two volunteers represented at the White House.  Teresa Bowick-Smith and Dewey Brown were recognized by President Bush on April 29th for their volunteer work and exemplary service. On behalf of Partners' entire network, we’d like to thank them both for their continued service and volunteer spirit.  Click here to read Teresa's letter of Thanks

Wonderful News! The Program now has funds available for travel exchange grants and small project assistance grants. Applications are accepted during the year from eligible Partners chapters, those having paid their 2008 dues and completed the rechartering process.  These grants have proven to be an excellent way of strengthening understanding, relations and communications between chapters in a Partnership.  Click here for more information, guidelines and application forms.
