Volunteer Speed Matching for Baby Boomers

Make a love connection...with volunteering.  The Red Cross and the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) will hold a volunteer speed matching event for Baby Boomers (ages 46-64) on June 29 from 5-9 p.m. at Borders in Lancaster.  Following the rules of speed dating, the event consists of five-minute intervals where “singles”—participants looking to volunteer-- rotate to the various volunteer stations offered by the Red Cross and RSVP. At each station, participants collect a first impression of eight volunteer areas including:

• Disaster Services
• Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT)
• Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
• Youth Education 
• Blood Services

After completing all eight rounds, the participant decides what volunteer area will receive the honor of a “second date”.  Registration is required prior to the event.  For more information, please contact Tom Burnett at 299-5566, ext. 176, or Beth McCauley at 299-5566, ext. 139.
