Thank you to the wonderful LLL Volunteers
As LLL ends the 2023-2024 season, we know that volunteers are what makes LifeLong Learning special. We appreciate our volunteers’ contributions and value their past participation. There are about 70 volunteers who worked hard to plan, organize, and produce the award-winning Classes, Great Decisions, PC Reads, Speakers Series and Trip events for our community.
The event planning for next season began early spring. LLL is in the process of updating its volunteer rosters and making certain the teams are fully staffed. Help is needed with the following teams: Audio Visual/Sound Technical Support, Classes, Communication and Marketing, Community Outreach, Finance, Speaker Series, Lobby, and Trips Teams. The LLL teams depend on the volunteers to function effectively and provide our award-winning programs to our PebbleCreek Community.
Thank you to the LLL Volunteer Team Co-Chairs, Pam O’Shea and Jill Burnham for all their excellent work this season.
