Volunteer Orientation
May 29, 2014 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Due to a strong need for house duty volunteers and a number of people expressing interest in helping out, we felt a need to schedule a pop-up volunteer orientation.
The orientation will take place next Thursday, May 29th, from 7:30 – 9:00 pm, and will take place in the classroom building upstairs in the back of Vineyard Central/St Elizabeth’s in Norwood. The entrance is on Lincoln Avenue.
If you cannot make this orientation, stay tuned for our next orientation in the end of June!
If you have not RSVP’d, please email me and let me know so that we can expect you.
