The Power of Advertising in The Virginia Gazette “I wanted to share with you our excitement regarding a recent milestone, the registration of our 500TH volunteer on the VolunteerWilliamsburg.org website! We also have 89 non-profit organizations registered. Not bad for being in existence for a year and a half. As you are probably aware, the site provides a free web based service to match volunteer desires with nonprofit needs. The predominate source of our registrants is from newspapers, and the primary paper has been the Gazette – from letters to the editor, to staff articles and comments in the Last Word. Thanks for your support in sharing this valuable service with the community. I hope you will find future opportunities for spreading the word.� - Roy Femenela VolunteerWilliamsburg.org
