Volunteer Opportunities
Since Rotary is the world's largest service club, our Norfolk club is doing its part for April's National Volunteer Month and beyond. Jim Kitz, our volunteer chair, has lined up great opportunities to serve our community. Please pick at least one to come and volunteer along with your fellow Rotarians. Look for sign-ups at our meetings or let Jim know you can help - james.kitz@ubs.com.
- April 19 at 5 p.m. we will help citizens with disabilities have a marvelous evening at the Virginia International Tattoo. (Due to security requirements at Scope, the deadline has passed to sign up for this.)
- April 23 at 9 a.m. we will support the grant our club made last year to the Lafayette Wetlands Partnership by planting wetlands plants along Knitting Mill Creek in Norfolk's Colonial Place neighborhood (along Mayflower Drive). All ages of volunteers are welcome so bring family members.
- April 30 at 8 a.m. We will help The Up Center at its annual Step Up event at the Virginia Beach Westin Hotel. While teams of nimble folks will be climbing 37 stories to raise funds for Up Center programs, we will be helping them have a great time. Family members are welcome to help.
- May 8 between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. If you could volunteer two hours for a shift helping at Festevent's Spring Wine Festival that would be great. Our club is serving beverages, which will earn money for our charities. We need 12 volunteers to help at this Mother's Day festival at Town Point Park for a few hours each. If you are not celebrating with a mother or being celebrated yourself, please consider helping out. Family volunteers welcome, but all helpers must be 21 and up.
