Positions of the LBPC, WE NEED Volunteer Help

As you know the LBPC runs on volunteers. We need all the help we can get, every tiny bit helps. You can sign up to deliver a meal to a family that just had a baby or you can volunteer to help plan one of the many events that the LBPC offers. There are so many ways that YOU can volunteer.

We need new faces and new volunteers all of the time. The goal is to have people in these positions for a one year term. During that year if we can get new volunteers to  help out and see how easy it is then they can potentially take over the following year.

Stephanie and I have agreed to take on the role as Co- Presidents for the year of 2011-June 2012. We of course will help with all transitions when people choose to step up and volunteer. We need volunteers because without them the club will come to an end, we can only do so much.

The LBPC club is amazing and provides so many resources for parents to meet each other and get to know the community, we do not want to see it die. We understand everyone is busy but with over 270 families in the club we would love to see a little more help.

Below is a list of positions that are necessary for the club to remain in tact and strong. If you have any interest in helping out with any of them feel free to e-mail us. Nicole Halpern & Stephanie Quarles.
Currently we have some members in these positions but if you are at all interested in anything come check out what it entails and we would be happy to have you on board.

Feel Free to shoot us an e-mail if you have any questions.
Thanks!
