No Time For The Little People
By Kleinheider Posted on July 29, 2008 at 1:26 pmRob Robinson is shocked that Nashville isn’t on the top of the heap in terms of volunteerism:
I expected to see Nashville in the top 10. Considering how vibrant and active our nonprofit community is, I’m scratching my head at how the city landed where it is. I can’t blame it on tough economic times, either, because that’s likely influencing all of the results, not just Nashville’s, and these numbers are for 2007, when the downward trend was only beginning to emerge.
