Volunteers

 

Don’t miss the President’s Message this month!

If you’ve not taken the time to read Kristen’s monthly messages, you should!

She always addresses the most important “Happenings” of our club each month which, not coincidentally, reflect our motto – Providing Support, Building Friendships, and Serving the Community! She really is quite eloquent with words…J

 

Look for available Full Board positions for the 2008-2009 year, so you can become more involved in this great club!

Have you ever attended a meeting and thought, “Hey, I’d like to do more and volunteer for CMOMs…” or looked at the website and said, “I could write an article…” or “I could manage that Wiki!”

It takes a lot of work to run a club as big as CMOMs (especially with all of these new members!) and we are always excited when new Volunteers with fresh ideas come around!

Click here to learn more about the available positions!
