•TIME: We need volunteers for our events to run smoothly - set-up tables & chairs, check-in, greeter, and hospitality, live streaming, media coverage, photography...
•TALENT: We are accepting applications and nominations for speakers.
•TREASURE: The truth is putting on quality events costs money. We received a grant for the community center itself but we still need to cover utilities, marketing, hospitality incidentals, operational and programming costs. Member and sponsor dollars go right back into the community center so we may continue to support our community through quality events and programming.

Lunch and beverage sponsors are recognized at the event, in L&L marketing, and our monthly newsletter.
