Dear Members San Diego Genealogical Society is an all-volunteer organization. Currently, we have several opportunities available and hope all members will consider them, as they are able. We currently are in need of: Event Planner Plan in-person events so members can get to know one another and share information, stories and experiences. An event planner could be responsible for all events or just one (with the assistance of other volunteers, of course). Responsibilities would include finding the venue/making reservations, getting costs for food/drinks, security, arranging for set up/clean up, producing the advertisement. Registrations can be made through the SDGS website. The event planner would present a proposal to the SDGS Board approval for same. At least two events would be held this year: possibly a beach pot-luck or bonfire and a fall/winter mixer. Other opportunities are also available, click here. SDGS is an all-volunteer group and we invite you to share your talents with us. Potential volunteers and those wanting more information should contact Pat Francisco, Volunteer Coordinator volunteer@casdgs.org. Thank you for your support! |
