At a recent meeting our president, Becky Wilber, asked if we could create a place on our website where members and visitors could find volunteer opportunities and local non-profit events. We talked about the logistics and decided that we could do this, but that it would take some effort on the side of the event coordinator. We started this list with some events we already knew about.
Here are the steps for finding Volunteer Opportunities:
1. Go to the "Search" box at the top of the website.
2. Type in "VN" (Volunteers Needed) and watch for a dropdown list to appear.
3. You'll see a list of all of the local charitable events coming up that need volunteers.
