Weekend Service Opportunities

Take Our interests and Skills Survey!
Hey - do you have 5 minutes? Take our Member Interests and Skills Survey. It is not truly fun, but it sure helps if you tell us what you would like to help with at the Society and what you are good at, too.
To the Survey…

Ann Smiley at 831-8959 to sign up for the first shift (making coffee for after the 9 am service) or
