The Board of Selectmen continues with their informational sessions on Volunteering within Winchester on Wednesday, May 9th at 9:00AM at the Recreation Building in the Rowley Street Playground. This series of one-hour get-togethers focus on inspiring residents to consider volunteering for the Town of Winchester's boards and commissions and to participate in the leadership needs of various town-focused non-profit organizations.
During each session, information about the various Town boards and commissions will be presented by Selectmen and other volunteers. Each gathering is independent and no prior registration is required. Refreshments will be available.
Sponsored by the Board of Selectmen, these gatherings will help residents better understand the role each board and commission have within town. Other volunteer options available within our community with non-profit organizations will also be discussed, serving to help folks consider how to best share their interests and skills.
Please note that people attending are under no obligation to become volunteers.
Other sessions remaining in this program are: Friday May 25th at 4 pm in the Winchester Center Congregational Church; Thursday, June 7th at Noon in the Winsted Community Bookstore, Main Street. And Saturday, June 23rd at 8 am in the Recreation Building, Rowley Street.
"Volunteering is good for your health, helps develop a sense of purpose, and because democracy is not a spectator sport helps your town’s government run efficiently."
