Community & Environmental Services

 

At this morning's meeting, I reported that our Community & Environmental Services Committee has created a schedule of volunteer opportunities for Club members covering the balance of this calendar year, which is attached.

 

While we don't expect every member to help or participate in every opportunity, we DO expect every member to volunteer and participate in a few within the year.  We offer the calendar so you can plan your own schedule.

 

Additional opportunities may surface as the months go by, and if so, we will announce them at our Friday Sunrise meetings.

 

It would be very helpful to our Services Committee to know in advance who and how many members we may count on to help plan, organize, and/or show up for our planned volunteer dates. Please let us know now, or as soon as you can, the dates you plan to volunteer/participate. I appreciate your consideration.
