Volunteers Needed at Maud Marks!

Submitted by Sarah N. on Wed, 10/10/2012 - 8:13am

Are you in junior high or older and would like to earn some volunteer hours? Next week, Oct 15-20, is our Patron Count Week. We need volunteers to count people coming into the building for all of the hours that we’re open. It’s easy to do and you can even read or do your homework while you’re counting!

If you’re interested we have lots of spaces available so please call Sarah at 281-492-8592 or stop by the information desk to sign up. You can still volunteer for Patron Count Week if you haven’t come to orientation but we do need you to fill out a volunteer application.

Thanks for your help!
