Are you feeling disconnected from your fellow volunteers due to COVID restrictions and limited volunteer opportunities? Do you long for more engagement with the greater CAC family?
As we move towards Spring and (we hope) a more normal routine, would you like to reinitiate contact with old friends and meet new ones?
A CAC Engagement Task Force has been looking for ways for us all to reconnect in informal social settings. Our intention is that we provide mechanisms for you to more easily connect with members of the greater CAC community in ways that are simple to organize, that put you in control of the types of activities and the timing of your engagement. These activities can be as formal or spur-of-the-moment as you choose.
Whether you feel comfortable with in person activities or prefer ZOOM meetings, we need your input to quickly assess your interests so we can provide ways for us to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones.
With that in mind please complete the attached survey as soon as possible. We will be collecting your responses over the next two weeks and then periodically in order to maintain a complete list of interested participants.
80 volunteers have answered the survey! The Volunteer Engagement Team has sent out an email announcement regarding the first meet up on Wednesday, February 23, 3PM at Chicago Cultural Center, Northside followed by happy hour at The Emerald Loop at 4:30. Please RSVP by Monday through Évite link in announcement. ALSO in Évite once you respond a POLL will appear on left side to RSVP specifically to meet up, happy hour or both. We will be scheduling more meetups to catch your busy schedules. We are just beginning! We certainly will need your input, and assistance. Looking forward to meeting other volunteers. The team: Quentin Kossnar, Carol Sue Garner, Jill Carlson, Betsy Pilmer and Suzy Ruder
