Volunteer opportunities, reform fight the topics of our next meeting, scheduled Tuesday

Upcoming volunteer activities and our continuing battle for meaningful healthcare reform will be the topics of our next Volunteers For Change-Fresno general meeting, scheduled 7-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8, in the large community room at the Fig Garden Library, 3071 W. Bullard Ave., in Fresno. The library is on the southwest corner of Bullard and Marks, in the shopping center.

At the meeting, we'll recap some of the activities we undertook in August, including the Rally for Healthcare Reform last week. We'll also go into detail about some upcoming volunteer activities that help our communities while bolstering our mission, including support for local food banks, working with the Southwest Policing District, and volunteer needs for the upcoming 'Santa's Village' event, scheduled in December.

We've had a very busy August, indeed. But with Congress returning to Washington D.C. and our communities still in need of volunteers, our work must continue. We hope to see you Tuesday evening!
