The Rotary Club of Alliston is pleased to announce the first-ever Volunteer Fair in support of community organizations in New Tecumseth and Simcoe County. The Volunteer Fair is designed to showcase our community’s charitable and service organizations which depend on the participation of volunteers for staffing.
On 21 January 2023, 15 tables will be set up in the Community Hall on the second floor of the Alliston Arena on Nelson Street, featuring representatives from select organizations. Members of the community are invited to attend from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM to learn about the important services each organization provides and find out how they can play a role in helping others in their community.
“Our volunteers are crucial to our success as an organization,” explained Barbara Barta, Manager of Marketing and Communications at the Community Living Association of South Simcoe (CLASS). “We couldn’t operate without them. And so this Rotary Volunteer Fair is an important forum for us to tell our story and enlist new recruits.”
“We’re pleased to have CLASS join us on the 21st,” added Brian Carmichael, President-Elect of the Rotary Club of Alliston and the lead organizer for this event. “Along with Matthews House, Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation, S.H.I.F.T and many others, there are so many charities and service organizations doing great work in our community. We want to help them attract more people who will join their teams of dedicated volunteers in making a difference in their community.”
Residents of New Tecumseth and the surrounding region are invited to drop in and learn about these important organizations which add so much to the quality of life we enjoy here. Coffee and tea will be served and there is no charge to attend.
