If you would like to volunteer but don’t know where you might fit in, give me a call and I would love to help you find a way to use your talents to help NAMI fulfill it’s mission. Here are some opportunities coming up:
VOLUNTEER NEWS
This year’s Celebration of Courage event is coming up in April. We will be setting up our flower display at Rex Hospital from April 10 through 13. This project raises funds for NAMI Wake and also helps raise awareness about mental illness in the community. There are lots of ways for you to help out:
Helping to unpack and prepare the Flowers - New flowers for the display will be arriving in March and we need a few people to help with the unpacking. If you are interested and available on March 26th, 27th or 28th, let me know.
Setting up and taking down the Flower Display - We will set up at Rex Hospital on Saturday morning, April 10. This is a lot of fun to do, like instant gratification gardening - seeing a garden grow before your eyes. We will also set up a large tent to display items for sale. It will probably take 2 or 3 hours to complete. Then we have to take it all down again on Tuesday evening, April 13th. Working at the Booth – We will have the NAMI booth set up for 4 days to sell flowers and hand out NAMI information. Shifts are available on Saturday and Sunday afternoon and during the day on Monday and Tuesday. Call or e-mail to let me know when you are available.
Helping with the Sponsor Luncheon on April 12th – We are having a luncheon for our sponsors and will need a few people to help with decoration and to keep things running smoothly.
If you are interested in any of these volunteer opportunities, let me know.
