Please signup for specific sub-committees or just general help as available. The undertaking and success of any project will be subject to the support and participation of the general membership. Volunteers are still needed to fulfill their new point system requirements. Signup sheets will be posted with the Membership Meeting sign-in sheets or you may contact any of the above co-chairman to volunteer your services. Help is needed in all phases of the cost analysis, planning and implementation of projects to improve the usability, appearance and security of the assets of the club. Some members may be needed on a call as needed basis only (for emergency repairs to electrical, plumbing or structural damages) while others may prefer to work on specific areas or projects. Either way it is a good way to earn points and socialize with fellow members while contributing to the future of the organization. |
