Upcoming volunteer opportunities
Common Table at 901 Poyntz (Lincoln Education Center)
Our club will continue to volunteer to help with Common Table from 5:00 to 7:00 PM on the 4th Tuesday of each month. To sign up for 4th Tuesdays, please use this link. We need to fill all of the slots for all of the 4th Tuesdays.
Even though our club is designated for the 4th Tuesday of each month, please feel free to sign up to help on different evenings if you wish.
Head Cooks are needed on Sunday and/or Monday evenings. Right now, the hired Common Table Kitchen Manager is preparing every meal, every evening. She needs a couple evenings off per week. If you have always dreamed of being a chef and controlling a kitchen, this gig is for you. Simply let me know if you are interested in serving as a Head Cook, simply let me know.

I updated the greeter list and it is now on our website (https://konzarotary.com). Assignments are alphabetical, by last name. If you are unable to greet on your assigned day, please trade with someone and let Kirk Crabtree know. We ask that you arrive by 6:50 AM to help get the room in order.
CASA is in desperate need of volunteers! 6-10 hours a month is all you need to change a child’s story. Children ages birth to 18 who are victims of child abuse and neglect are waiting for your voice. You don’t need any specific education or work experience to become a CASA, just a heart for youth and a desire to make a difference. Questions or want to sign up? Contact Jayme at jaymem@sunflowerchildrensco.org
