FRENCHMAN’S CREEK

Announces a New Program

For our Members

The

“Volunteer Match Program”

LAUNCHING THE FRENCHMAN’S CREEK VOLUNTEER MATCH PROGRAM

April 2015

Dear Members:

Frenchman’s Creek is an incredible community of successful, talented and generous residents. We became inspired to try a new, unique program that focuses on volunteer opportunities -- the Frenchman’s Creek Volunteer Match Program (FCVMP). We presented our ideas to the Board of Governors at their December meeting and the Board gave us the green light to launch this Program. One of our first steps is to get a baseline understanding of what types of volunteer opportunities our members are interested in or where they currently volunteer. We have developed a short survey (on the next page) that lays the groundwork for the program. Please complete the survey (on the next two pages) and return it to the POA Office in one of four ways—in the enclosed return envelope, drop off at the POA Office, fax to 561-630-5715 or scan and email to poarecept@frenchmanscreek.com.

Thank you so much for your consideration. We hope you will share our enthusiasm for this new program.

Warmest regards,

Marie and Saul Kravecas Nancy and Peter Berkley
