Volunteer Resources
The Resource Room
The Resource Room is located in the Service Center and is open during regular business hours. New leaders, as well as those who have been leaders for a long time, will find it worth their while to spend time here planning meetings, picking up forms, gathering information and ideas for field trips or using the computer to compose a parent letter.
