ARTICLE: January traditionally brings burst of volunteers to nonprofits (The Virginian-Pilot - HamptonRoads.com/PilotOnline.com): "The Red Cross office at the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center buzzed with activity Thursday.

New volunteers got badges, and the regulars made sure the newbies knew what was expected of them.

'If you have any questions at all, just give me a call,' Tanya Morgan, the station manager, told two new volunteers as they left the office.

January traditionally brings a flurry of new volunteers to organizations such as the Red Cross. The United Way of South Hampton Roads, the Salvation Army and other groups also say they receive more inquiries about volunteering this month each year."
