Calling all Volunteers!  The USO is coming to Richmond!

The USO of Richmond will hold a volunteer meeting on March 11, 2010 at the Richmond International Airport. We will meet at 6:15pm on the 1^st floor of the airport.  When you enter, you will see the information desk straight ahead and to your right. The Groom transportation desk is straight ahead and to your left.   Our meeting space will be on the left past the Groom transportation desk.

We ask anyone who is interested in volunteering with the USO Richmond center to join us.   We will look at the space where the center will be, review the plans for the center, look over and sign the volunteer agreement form and form committees depending on your interest in working with the USO.  We want to hear ideas you may have. This will be our USO for our soldiers.

We will need varying skill sets. There is something for everyone.  If you want to work in the center and greet the soldiers, or help with the planning of the events that we will use to raise funds to keep the USO center operating, or you may want to work with our gala team, or you have lots of connections and you can help us reach out to some folks who will donate things we need and most of all cash.  I would love to see an event cosponsored by each of the branches of the military so that we will have an Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine, Navy sponsored event.  We need representation from each segment of the military. When I say sponsored I mean you bear the responsibility for the major planning of that event and getting your folks involved for that event. Our gala will be the coming together of all of our teams for our largest event of the year.  Perhaps your interest is making certain that our soldiers have the warmest send off possible as they deploy or the warmest welcome when they return home.  Whatever you talent, your gift, we need your help!  Please join us!   

Please bring your parking stubs to the meeting with you. Our President has agreed to pay the cost of parking for that evening.

Thanking you in advance,

Pat Jordan
