On
April 20, 2006, President George W. Bush proclaimed the week of April 23-29 to
be National Volunteer Week. In recognition of the Proclamation, the EMCBC is
announcing initiation of a new partnership with Junior Achievement of OKI
Partners, Inc, the local branch of Junior Achievement, Inc. Junior Achievement
