Board members Machelle Jones at machjon@earthlink.net or Lex Mathis at lex@soundlawgroup.com and put Volunteer in the subject line.
Office
& Drop-In Support: Be a friendly voice on the telephone to give information, referrals and
support. Welcome women who drop in at the LRC. Between personal contacts, you can help
with clerical and housekeeping tasks. All skill levels needed.
LRC News Committee: Collaborate with
women who put out the monthly LRC News. We reach about 10,000 readers each month. This is
a fabulous opportunity if you are in writing a monthly feature article, editing news and
wire releases, and reporting on or photographing women's cultural and political events.
You can be involved in selecting articles, editing, proofreading, interviewing, and more.
LRC News Mailing & Distribution: Want
to make sure the LRC News gets mailed to 1500 subscribers and thousands of other
readers? We need you to help package, mail and distribute the paper. Take a
delivery route in neighborhoods throughout the Puget Sound area. It's only a couple
hours per month and it's a great way to get out to the places where the women are.
LRC
Cabarets and Forums: Be a
performer. Share your talent in the LRC's Third Saturday Cabaret, a showcase for the
performing arts. On the other side of the stage, join the Production Team that plans these
events. Night of the show helpers do set-up, admission, refreshments and strike down after
the show. The Productions Team also coordinates and presents other special events
such as readings, seminars, lectures and panel discussions.
LRC Scholarship Committee: Let women know that the
LRC gives a scholarship every year, through the Pride Foundation. Help screen and
interview applicants, and participate in the awards ceremony for scholarship recipients.
March and April are the months of most intensive activity for this group.
LRC
Board & Board Committees: The LRC has a working board
and several board committees. The women represent the Members and provide leadership
in matters such as Finance, Personnel, Programs, Fundraising and Policy-making. Board
members are elected annually the members. Board committees welcome the participation of
any member of the LRC. We operate and govern outselves through the work of
volunteers. Find a leadership role that fits your talents!
LRC Website: The LRC web
site receives over 1500 monthly visits. Help keep the calendar of events, community
and business & professional pages up to date. Bring us your design talents and ideas
for new information.
LRC
Auction: The annual LRC auction is not only a major social event for Puget Sound
area lesbian, bisexual and transgender women, it also is a significant source of LRC
revenue. Like most LRC activities, it is run by volunteers. Volunteers are
supported by the professional services of Kip Toner Benefit Auctions. Learn to ask anyone
for anything; help turn out hundreds of women; create a memorable women's environment
through decorations; attend and help us with dozens of specific tasks the day of the
event; attend to the myriad of follow-up details after the event. July through December
are the most intensive months.
