THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN VOLUNTEERING AT GRNA!
SILENT AUCTION COMMITTEE
We are currently recruiting volunteers for our 2019 silent auction committee. This consists of contacting potential auction donors via phone, email and in-person to contribute to our 2019 silent auction. This may also include follow up to these donors and arranging for the pick up the auction item. Strong communication with the lead of the committee is a must.
EVENTS COMMITTEE
We are also recruiting volunteer for our events committee. These volunteers will assist the Volunteer Coordinator with developing and coordinating games, crafts, and activities at our community events. I know you love to look at Pinterest for cute and crafty ideas for yourself, now you can do it to help us! For 2019 we have three community events scheduled: Grass River Shiver/Winterfest, Summer Kick-Off Open House and Autumn Fest.
Stream Monitoring Training
Saturday May 4, 2019 - 10:00am – 12:00pm
This training will focus on assessing stream quality based on the types of aquatic insects that are found in a creek. We will spend a short time out in the creek and then come back to the center to pick through our samples. Open to anyone interested in stream monitoring.
Spring Stream Monitoring
Saturday May 11, 2019 - 8:00am – 12:00pm
