Volunteers are what allows us function as a community league.
Volunteering can be beneficial to the community and it's citizens but also rewarding to the volunteer. You might find a niche that makes you feel special and needed. You might realize the strengths you have can be used to their fullest in a volunteer position.
You don't have to be able to commit a huge amount of time. You might want to volunteer for a special event like our Family Fun Day or Canada Day. You might be able to coach a sports team or assistant coach. You might see a need in the community and be willing to initiate a program such as Front Yards in Bloom, Capital City Clean-up, Master Composter, or start a card playing group or fitness group.
We would love to have more activities and events but we also need the manpower to assist with these things.
If you would like to be involved in a short-term project or event please feel free to contact our president at presidentlbcl@gmail.com.
Advice when volunteering at Bingo: Wear comfortable shoes, as most jobs require you to walk around the bingo hall for the shift. Please don't plan on texting friends or standing on the sides; we are expected to focus on our job and circulate throughout the room. You will get a 25 minute break which allows you to sit and relax and you can have a meal from the concession stand for free. Do call-backs quickly (calling out the bingo winner's number) which speeds up the games and gets you out earlier. Have fun; visit with your community members as you walk around, and think of all the good you are doing for your community and your body (it is exercise too!).
