There are many ways to volunteer with SAC. Come to our meeting Monday March 1st and we’ll talk about them. If you can’t make the meeting Here is a link to the volunteer form for SAC.
Please fill it out and give it to Libby or Katie or Courtney or bring it to the next meeting!
Why volunteer? as Edmund Everett Hale said: I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
