Are you good at raising funds? If
so, we have a great volunteer opportunity for you.
Fund Developer:
We need a "fund developer" who can raise funds for our chapter.
They should have community contacts and proven fund development.
Blood Service Coordinator:
A dedicated volunteer who is willing to take over the responsibility
of Blood Service. Meet with blood captains and Chair of Blood Services
on a monthly basis. Fill in where needed at blood drives and coordinate
drivers who pick up blood at the donor site and take it to Philadelphia.
These opportunities are good for recently retired people with "time
on their hand".
Please call or e-mail June Arnold, Director of Volunteer Services if
you are interested in either of these opportunities.
