Now that we meet both in-person and virtually through Zoom, we made it easier to volunteer. 'SignMeUp' is a new electronic sign up list registration application which you can access from within Spoke right next to the actual event announcement. 
Anyone, Rotarians, Friends of the Club and Guests are welcome to volunteer and it's easy to sign up.
 
You will see the the     button next to the event announcement.
 
Click on the SignMeUp button and you can view the specifics about the job or role, a contact person and you can add your own name and include a count of friends coming with you to help. Please be sure to add your email (it will never be displayed) so that we can send you the latest information about the event.
