'Though government has an important role
to play in meeting the many challenges that remain before us, we are coming
to understand that no organization, including government, will fully succeed
without the active participation of each of us. Volunteers are vital to
enabling this country to live up to the true promise of its heritage.'
--Bill Clinton
