Volunteers needed for TCRA Board of Directors

 The Trafalgar-Chartwell Residents’ Association is seeking volunteers to fill two vacant positions on its Board of Directors: Director, Community Relations and Director, Development. Volunteers should be residents of the TCRA neighbourhood (QEW to Lakeshore, Chartwell to the 16 Mile Creek) and able to volunteer approximately 3 days a month to TCRA affairs. Relevant experience is not necessary (volunteers typically learn the work over time, with help from fellow directors) but ownership of a computer and moderate capability with it are desirable. If you are interested and would like to help us, PLEASE click here for more information!
