the responsibilities can be broken into pieces so that a single individual needn’t bear the entire burden. In other instances, we can find coordinators, but need additional folks to lend a helping hand. Some tasks would be one time contributions and others could be ongoing.

In addition to needing people to fill the RSA Treasurer and RSA Secretary positions, we have many possible activities which would be good for us to do but for which we are lacking the people resources to man them.

How about it? You do not need to volunteer for a specific task, just let us know that you are willing and able to lend a hand. Please contact me or any of the other Officers, Directors or Managers listed on page 3 of this Journal. All of our USPS and e-mail addresses, as well as phone numbers, are listed there for your convenience. We are looking forward to hearing from you. |
