   “Volunteers are the lifeblood of our many boards and committees . Without them , so many functions of our county would be nearly impossible to provide , ” Commissioner Deputy Director Lori Ciesla commented .  
   As we continue to face economic and social challenges , it is clear that volunteers provide vital services that cannot be met in a formal system by sharing expertise , advice and help to prioritize community needs .
