Recognizing the power of National Service, mayors across the nation will be coming together in these next couple weeks to celebrate the impact that National Service members are making in their communities. Mayors will hold public events, issue proclamations, and share through different media sources their commitment to National Service. Although the official day is April 9, 2013, Nevada started early in celebrating the instrumental National Service members in Fallon, Nevada today.

Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) members spent the morning hearing Mayor Tedford thank them for their service and commitment to the community of Fallon. In 2012, RSVP members made a huge impact in the rural town. They provided services that gifted Churchill County, $76,328 including:

• 198 seniors received 136 hours of RSVP care law pro-bono legal assistance.
