Book Sorting Volunteers
Do you love being knee deep in books and organizing them for others to buy? We always have books to sort and put into boxes by genre and subjects. This is a year around activity. It can be a little dirty at times, but fun. If you are interested in volunteering please contact us. We would appreciate your help!

We are looking for people with ideas, who want to help set up, tear down, work with caterers. We want to have fun, creative events that engage our members and potential members. For example we have recently hosted a murder mystery. We needed volunteers to be actors, to get a caterer and work with them, create table decorations, and finally to set up the tables and tear them down. This is just one type of event and we are looking for ideas for events. If you are interested in events, contact us and let us know you are interested in Events.
