Hi Folks,

 

Next Tuesday, July 12, 2005, the resident board members, under Karen's leadership, are sponsoring the first ever Committee Fair in Pinckney Hall from 1-4 PM.  Our intent is simple; we want to expose as many residents as possible to the volunteer leadership opportunities in the community, predominantly with the board-appointed committees.  Historically, residents have been expected to seek out committees of interest on their own.  We want to make that process much easier.  Board-appointed committees, along with neighborhood committees, the Inter-Club Council, the Safety and Service Team and the Board of Directors all represent opportunities for residents to assume positions of leadership and help shape the future of the community.  We want to make it easy for you to learn about what these organizations actually do, where you might have an interest and how to proceed if you want to volunteer your services for the good of the community.

 

The Committee Fair will be organized very much like the Club Fairs that are held every year, that is tables will be set up by organization and you will have the opportunity to chat with current members of the committees as well as the other organizations mentioned above to learn about what they do.  There are no less than 40 positions which will come open on the various board-appointed committees this fall and one of those slots may be the perfect fit for you.

 

Come and check us out.  In appreciation for letting us tell you about these opportunities, we'll offer refreshments and door prizes and get you in out of the heat.

 

Karen, Al and I hope to see you there.

 

Jerry
