Q. How much will I have to help?
A. This organization would not be successful without our many wonderful volunteers. How involved you are is up to you however, we realize that everyone has other obligations and may not have time to help with our numerous events.
We hope the most compelling reason to join is to show your community support and to let consumers know that you are wiling to invest back into our community.
