Please choose five areas below that you feel you might be able contribute time and energy to at First Unitarian Society. Within each of the five areas please choose…
  • The left box if you have expertise (skill) in the area.
  • The right box if you are interested in helping the area, regardless of your expertise. Note that these choices change in a few places, just to keep you on your toes.
  • Check both if that seems like the right thing (for example you have both interest and expertise).
  • And of course, don't check the boxes if you have neither interest nor expertise, or have interest and expertise you wish to hide, which is allowed. Ready?
