Information is Service

You know the old expression,
"Information is power!"
I'm tweaking it-
Information is Service!

When folks are involved with Connections and understand Connections- our mission, how we operate, what our programs are, etc- then they can better serve. And we can better place them where they need to be.
Recently one of our volunteers apologetically told us she didn't feel comfortable in the volunteer role we put her in.
GREAT- now she knows something about herself and we can put her in role that fits better.

Information helps people to:
feel empowered;
help visitors;
point other people in the right direction.

Information doesn't put them in a position of power, it puts them in position of service.

So I encourage all our volunteers and attenders-
Get informed,
and get serving.
If you don't know, ask.
If you know, serve.

We have to work together to make this mission happen!
