The Sedona Women - Volunteer Opportunities
The Community Service and Ways and Means Committees are excited about our upcoming calendar of events for the 2017-2018 year. Please let us know if you want to volunteer for a project and/or be a Coordinator for a specific project. We are always looking for people to join our team, become coordinators, or volunteer to work with our team members on any of our projects.
If you have an idea for a future project, please let us know. The TSW general guidelines for a community project are below. Also, The Sedona Women consider what projects are already committed on the calendar and the availability of volunteers.
1) A clear, defined need; and
2) An opportunity for our membership to participate in the execution of a worthwhile project, which in turn, offers members a platform to get to know each other better.
Please contact TSW Community Service Chair Ellen Ferriera if you are interested in joining our team.
Please contact TSW Ways and Means Co-Chairs (Paula Harvey or Victoria Clark) if you are interested in joining our team.
We look forward to hearing from you or seeing you at one of our Volunteer Events below.

Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities this fall.
