To our Dearest Volunteers – With Love, Cincinnati Nature Center
As I sit here and think about all that you mean to me, I cannot help but reflect on how our relationship has grown since we first met. Your vision for what I could be is the reason I am who I am today.
Your love and nurture took me from infancy to becoming the largest member-supported nature center in the country. I am in awe of the love you give to the land, the community, and to me. I am in constant wonder of your selflessness.
I am so grateful that you have chosen to be a part of my history.
When I am lost and trying to find my way, you help guide me.
When I question my ability to succeed, you are there to support me.
When I wonder how we will continue spreading the mission, you show up for me.
When I reflect on why I have become successful, it is because of you.
It is because of you that I am proud to be Cincinnati Nature Center.
It is because of you that our city has an amazing place to seek solace and recreation.
It is because of you that I am seen as an asset to the community.
You make me a better place.
You make me shine brighter than I ever could alone.
Thank you for choosing me.
All my love,
Cincinnati Nature Center
