We need Rotary volunteers for 2 hour shifts who can help by handing out material on Starfish and just help educate people. We will be in 4 grocery stores in Penticton so need the volunteers for those. The Jaycees have a volunteer coordinator that will be in touch with each Rotarian who volunteers to set up shifts and locations. This is an excellent opportunity for collaboration between Jaycees and Rotary. An opportunity for camaraderie between the two organizations and potential for Rotary recruitment.
