10 Ways to get (and GIVE) more to your PNC!
It is surprising how much time and effort is required to run an organization of 275 members. We need everyone to pitch in and help in some small way. We encourage you to help the PNC by volunteering with us. It is a wonderful way to meet people and become more involved with our organization. Here are 10 possibilities for you to join in and help:
1. lead or co-lead an activity for women to join in
2. help the executive with their administrative duties
3. set up tables and chairs and decorations at monthly meetings
4. host a welcome tea for the brand new members
5. pick up donated baskets at Thrifty’s each month for prize draws
6. compose and send thank you notes to luncheon speakers/ organizations
7. bake your favourite goodies for welcome teas, monthly meetings or other events
9. offer your tech skills to help the executive and/or new members navigate the website
10. greet new members at monthly meetings or events
You may have some other ideas… and we’ll post more ways to volunteer in upcoming newsletters and here on the website.
Thanks in advance :)
