Looking for a Few Good Volunteers
...or a whole bunch.
JOIN THE HSC BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
Several of our current board members will be stepping down at this year's Annual Meeting. We are looking for individuals that care deeply about the bleeding disorders community and the HSC to help fill their shoes. Becoming a board member requires a significant but manageable time commitment. Board meeting are held each month on the second Tuesday. By joining the board at this time, you will represent our community in the important decisions coming up as we merge with NHF and hire an executive director.
If you are interested, please let us know either at Education Day or by replying to this email. We will hold elections at the Annual Meeting at the end of the day, Saturday. Be prepared to speak briefly about your interest in the bleeding disorders community and the HSC.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE HSC:
We are asking each member of the HSC to pledge their support by giving a minimum 4 hours of your time in one calendar year. That is not much to be involved in our great community and will help keep it going. We are planning an evening to get all volunteers together and form committees. Here are some ways to get involved.
Volunteer work at an event or in preparation of an event
1) We will need a crew to help at the Walk in the fall
2) We need a few folks to work at Black and Blue to help with auction items, check-in/check-out, event flow
3) Help stuff envelopes for upcoming mailings- we will plan a night at the Ames house to do this for Black and Blue
Social Media & Newsletter outreach
1) We need people to help gather stories, take pictures at events, and post them on our website and facebook page
2) We would also like someone to maintain the blog for the HSC which would include gathering stories and writing weekly posts as an electronic newsletter
First Steps
1) We need need someone to co-facilitate with Chris Bombardier, Amy Board and Erin Stang to start up this program again (baskets, outreach, programs, etc...)
Donations
1) if you cannot donate time, bring us donations---- here are some ideas we can add to baskets for the Black and Blue auction as well as other upcoming events: BOARD GAMES, NICE BOTTLES OF WINE OR LIQUOR, GIFT CERTIFICATES FOR DINNERS OUT, MOVIE TICKETS, GIFT CARDS OF ANY SORT, SPORTS STUFF, PICTURE FRAMES. *** Feel free to bring something to Education Day as your contribution. Thanks. ***
