Volunteer
Opportunities are available for persons wanting to help our organization grow and serve its members. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and to get a feeling of belonging to an organization of 55+ people who have the same capabilities and goals as you do! Whether you want to be a participant and/or a volunteer, you will enjoy yourself. Our committee has a need for volunteers who want to get involved in planning and organizing activities for seniors. This may be of interest for the newly retired but does not exclude others, if you want an opportunity on a part-time basis. To volunteer, contact Barry Brezden, 306-941-1825.
