Opportunities for Volunteers

May - 2003

 

 

 

Welcome to Yellowstone County, Montana support positions that are available for volunteers to assist. Please take a moment to review this list, and get involved with your community.

 

Your Yellowstone Genealogy Forum is looking for volunteers to fill the following positions:

 

#1  2^nd Vice President

This person will attend functions that are not SAFE for the President to attend (hahaha).  Actually, this job is much more difficult then that!  It is necessary for this person to handle correspondence for YGF.  If someone is ill or needs to be thanked, you’re on board to send a note!  You need to bring the name badges to each meeting, or if you cannot make a meeting it is your responsibility to find someone else to bring them.  This job pays you less then if you were President, but involves only 1 hour a month or so. 

         

#2  Treasurer

This person needs to be able to keep accurate financial records for the Forum.  Basically you will be a co-signature on the checking account.  You will be collecting receipts and paying the bills.  We are talking 1 hour a month.

 

#3  Program Chairman

This person will be setting up programs for the Forum.  You will be collecting ideas for programs and then finding people to give the programs.  Not a difficult job, but can be more time consuming.  My guess, from when I held this position, is 2 hours a month. This is a very interesting position.  This person will be taking photos of events that involve YGF, as well as collecting `memorabilia’ and putting it in a scrapbook.  Maybe 1 hour a month.

 

#5  Lending Library

This lucky person gets to listen and watch any or all of the video/ audio researching materials.  The only thing we ask in return is for you to bring the inventory to the general meetings so others can check the materials in and out.  The time you will be investing is a half hour before the general meetings, perhaps another few minutes to put inventory back in `order’. 

 

#6  Gen Bug needs someone to help the newsletter editor.  The job would involve going to the editor’s home when the Gen Bug is being written.  Our Newsletter goes out every 3 months, so not a monthly commitment. 

 

Please realize these positions take 12-24 hours a YEAR, and generally around your schedule!  Board meetings are held several times a year.  Commonly in the past the Board has met every month, however we have managed to eliminate the need to meet so often.  It may not be important for you to attend EVERY board meeting, however it may help you fulfill your commitment if you are better informed on what is being discussed.  The Board is ready, willing and very able to help you should the need arise.  A mere frown will bring in our forces! 

 

If you are interested in any of those, let me know and I will put you on a `possible’ list for next year.  

 

We of the Forum want to thank all of you for considering serving our group.  I think you will be surprised at how little time is needed by each of us if we all step forward!
