CARING VOLUNTEERS

Regarding staff writer Debra Gordon's article (Jan. 16) concerning the Chesapeake Guardianship Program: I am the volunteer guardian coordinator for the program and would like to add that we are associated with the Chesapeake Department of Social Services and that we can be reached at 543-9211, ext. 220. The volunteers responding to our program are intelligent, caring and responsible individuals who receive complete training by our program.

I would like to express gratitude to the people of this community for the overwhelming concern and response to our program. Caring volunteers have been the strength of this country, and they continue to be a vital foundation for our communities.
