I am looking for sme generic articles or little factoids to print in our newesletter for a week or so before Volunteer Appreciation Week -- something to do with the value of volunteers, etc. Any ideas for good, brief little pieces aobut volunteers?

Without a doubt, you should go check out these websites and view the many resources they have for volunteer support and encouragement:
www.servenet.org
volunteersolutions.com
energizeinc.com
idealist.org
Hope these help!

You can use something to the effect of this: "Volunteers make the differnce".
