A number of club members wanted to volunteer in supporting the COVID vacine program.  To assist during the COVID Pandemic, Virginia is using the Virginia Medical Reserve Corps as a tool to gather medical and non-medical volunteers in the vacine program.  The application takes about 30 minutes to complete.  The non-medical application requires a photo ID and a head shot (Passport type photo) be scanned and attached.  Medical professionals require additional details.  The applications are reviewed and you will receive an email in 5-7 days. In the application you can specifiy which city or county you want to support, plus willingness to travel statewide or nationwide.

The Foodbank has seen a decrease in people supporting their volunteer programs.  This is a community service opportunity to assemble food boxes for adults and elderly, or backpack packets for school children. Won't know the exact assignment until that day.  This is done indoors in an assembly line to maintain social distance and provides time to socialize with other club members in the line.  We are requested to wear closed toe shoes and a mask.  Sanitizer, water and gloves will be provided on site.   We have reserved 8 volunteer slots with the Foodbank.

Supporting the Keep Norfolk Beautiful project, our support is needed to pickup litter in the front of the park, just as we did six month prior.  The city will supply the pickup sticks, bags, gloves and remove the collected trash when we are finished.  Hope this will be a nice day and not like the rainy day we had previously.  Rain date is the 31^st.
