The AGM is your chance to hear more about plans for the community league and to give your thoughts!

We are also seeking new members to fill the following positions:

Membership Director - Maintains our membership directory, distributes membership cards

Communications Director - Create email newsletter and flyers and maintain social media accounts

Volunteers with general interest in joining the board or helping with events are always welcome.

Volunteer commitment is approximately one board meeting per month (about 1.5 hours). Time commitment at events is about 3 hours every 3-4 months.

The league could not operate without the dedicated volunteer board members that give their time each month! Involvement in the board is a great way to stay in touch with current events and activities in our area.

Hope to see you there!
