Dear CVN volunteer,
Happy holidays to everyone!
I hope everyone is already or soon to be taking it easy over the holidays with family and friends. We just wanted to hit you with a quick set of upcoming events, along with two other quick notes:
- Sharon Tewksbury-Bloom, our awesome and talented County Liaison from Volunteer Arlington, will be in touch later today with the details on our new, incoming Leadership Team (LT) members (along with some much-earned thanks to our 2009 LT!)--we're pretty pumped about a solid crew coming in, and excited about all the possibilities we're hoping to open up for more people to get involved with CVN in more ways.
- We have hooked up a new Volunteer Arlington Facebook Fan page, which has links to CVN and ways to search for volunteer opportunities--check it out here and "fan" Volunteer Arlington (and if you aren't already a member of our CVN group on FB, hit that up here).
