It was great to see some of you at the potluck this past Sunday! We've got a lot of projects coming up this February through May, so please take a look at the list below and sign up where you can! Also, we recently lost the coordinator for our monthly volunteer project of serving dinner for the homeless at The Delonis Center. This was such an important project to Yoga Serves that we are really hoping someone will step up to take it over! Please see the information about it below and contact Shannon for more details if you're interested.
Peace,
Christy
New Coordinator Needed!
Delonis Center Homeless Shelter
We lost our coordinator and need someone to step up to help keep our monthly
volunteer project of serving dinner for the homeless at the Delonis Center
going! It's very simple: You just send out a reminder email each month to
those interested and confirm those who can make it. Then you show up and
serve! We have been serving dinner on the 1st Thursday of each month, but
if you are willing to take over this project, you can coordinate it for
whatever day/time works best for your schedule!
Contact Shannon Walter at swalt...@hotmail.com if you are interested
in coordinating this monthly project.
