The strength of our Association lies in the effective volunteer efforts of its members in the day to day operations. We are very excited about our plans for 2013 and are counting on volunteer involvement to help us succeed. Why Volunteer ? Whether it's to make a difference in your community or to put your talents, experience, knowledge or other skills to use for a good cause, we encourage everyone join one of our committees. What better place to volunteer than right here where we live. Volunteering is Easy Most volunteer roles will take up an hour or less of your time each week. Committees meet just 4 times a year (once a quarter) or more often if the committee feels that it is necessary Volunteering is Convenient With much of the work and deliberations being carried online or over email you have great flexibility about when to chime in and contribute to ongoing conversations. Volunteering is Fun Volunteering will give you an opportunity to meet and get to know many neighbors. You will also get to share in great events such as our soon to be introduced volunteer social and volunteer training events Volunteering is Rewarding Even though board members and committee volunteers are not compensated monetarily, participating in making our community safer and more beautiful is reward enough. Opportunity for Further Contribution & Growth Being on a committee means being involved in and getting to see the operation of our community up close. The knowledge and experience gained here may lead to opportunities to contribute more to the association and possibly a decision to take on a role on the board.
