Community Matters: Volunteering for Chedemption

Once summer comes, the nonprofits each sign up for a week to take over Chedemption from the Council’s winter crew of Annie Thaxter, Ester Knight, Binkie Boxer, Lynne Priest, Mary Holman, Dianne Whetham, and Sam McLean. For nonprofits, that means one week of filling slots every day but Tuesday: a single two-hour slot on Monday and Thursday mornings (9:00 to 11:00), three and a half hours of slots on Wednesday and Friday afternoons (1:30 to 5:00), and four two-hour slots on Saturday and Sunday (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). In exchange, each nonprofit gets a cut of the proceeds earned during the entire year of Chedemption. What each nonprofit needs most are volunteers to fill these slots! So please call your favorite nonprofit and sign up for a slot or two.
