There’s Still Time to Participate in “Small Group” Personal Training Volunteer Staff Coordinators Meeting June 11

We have openings for Volunteer Staff Coordinators (VSC) at a number of GVR pools. VSCs act as a liaison between the volunteers at their facilities and GVR’s Volunteer Liaison. It is lots of fun and not a lot of work! They help answer questions of those volunteers on a flex schedule. VSCs also keep volunteers up to date with all the latest information needed to help keep members safe while enjoying GVR facilities. If you are interested in learning how much fun you can have and how simple it is, please attend the meeting on Wednes- day, June 11 at 9 am in the East Center Auditorium or contact Member Services Supervisor, Maureen McCarthy, at 625-3440 x7224 or at [email protected].
