Member of the Board of Directors
 We have a Board of 12 Directors that meets bi-monthly. It is both a policy
and working Board and participation on at least one Board Committee is
required. Preference is given to those interested in fundraising activities.
We welcome volunteers interested in fundraising. Your involvement can
be at the level you choose—as a Board member, as a volunteer member
of our Fundraising Committee, or assisting otherwise according to your
interests and time availability. Fundraising encompasses special events;
pursuit of third-party events where corporations and other organizations
generate financial support; and solicitation of donations from individuals,
corporations, service clubs, and school groups. Activities could involve
bringing ideas to the team, developing a fundraising network, making
presentations, preparing letters, planning and implementing events,
etc.
