It takes many volunteers to successfully run all of our events.  We encourage you to check the dates of our events and your calendars and offer your time to help.  Each event involves set up, take down, cleaning, as well as food prep, cooking food, serving, being a cashier, or signing up members.  Our events are designed to raise the necessary funds to support our organization.  The more we raise, the more we can do for activities.  Whether it’s Work Days or Events, plan to become part of the team as we work together, play and socialize together, and stay together to build a strong, vibrant Club.
