If the date, time & location of the event work well for you, e-mail us back and join in on the fun! |
Club Happenings ListAn e-mail goes out to individuals who would like to go out to the Clubs and attend the special events/performances at the Club sites. These e-mails may also list opportunities for one-time volunteer projects at the Club ranging from refereeing a game to chaperoning a Club fieldtrip. These e-mails will go out in advance for events we know about and may come with opportunities for the evening the e-mail is sent (e.g. we need an emergency basketball referee sub).
