Volunteers

Several people ask, how can I help and I usually go blank because there is so much help that we need that I don’t know where to start.  So here are some tasks and projects that need to be done as well as positions that we are seeking.  Currently board meetings are on Tueday Nights but we might have to change that to fit people’s schedules.  Send me your email address if you want to be considered for one of these tasks or positions.  Our email address is wilmingtonpride@gmail.com.  Thanks TR.
