Building Your Neighborhood Organization

Volunteers are needed to keep the River Road Community Organization (RRCO) thriving.

We are looking for neighbors who are:
1. Interested in building a lively, healthy community;
2. Not motivated by guilt or obligation;
3. Enthusiastic about the job;
4. Able to do a task without going too far out of their comfort zone; and
5. Willing to donate some time.

Can you commit for a year or two to help your neighborhood?
