Borrego Springs a Community of Volunteers

Share

Letter to the Editor


We were asked to Vote on New Signage for those who enter “Borrego Springs” Some had wording… I would like to offer another choice!


“Borrego Springs a Community of Volunteers”


We are an amazing place, and isolated Community surrounded by the Natural Beauty of a

Wildlife Sanctuary.


Community, we all go to the same Post Office to pick up our Mail. Our Town, by the generosity of many people, and an army of Volunteers, exudes Community spirit.


Giving back is the creed that dominates, a Community of Organizations that offer opportunities for us to help one another, whatever our circumstances and interests.


If you are a Visitor, you are in for a treat to all we offer!


If you live here, you have purpose, join in; Volunteer for something!


Thank you,

Richard Gray
