[Community-service] Speakers/ National Organizations

[Cheryl Fields]

My chapter has a few folks that like to volunteer and we go to the
Greater Cleveland Food Bank every other month. Going on Tuesday, we
repack food for community distributions.  I may look into a new
opportunity for us with these 2 organizations.
When the Film Festival is here, I think voa provides the volunteers,
will check it out and keep you posted.
United way is a great organization, don't know if they are open to
receive us.Like the idea of using National groups, wouldn't it be
great to plan a nation wide nfb day of service with 1 organization?
Another idea,lol! Save it for next year.
