Volunteer Opportunities

The Council is a non-profit, volunteer organization. There are no monetary benefits, however, you will have lots of fun, meet new people, make new friends, have access to an expanded community network, talent recognition and gain enlivened community spirit!

 

Become a Sponsor or Partner

If you, your organization or your business would like to contribute please check our “RECOGNITION” benefits.

There is still time to sponsor the Veterans Day Parade!

As always all administrative work is done by unpaid volunteers, however cash donations are needed to pay for required insurance, safety equipment, parade fees and misc. items.

100% of parade donations are used directly for parade support.
