PFLAG Long Island Needs YOU.
We are a volunteer organization relying
upon the time and energy of many of our members to continue to do all we
have done in the past. We
appreciate the help we have received throughout the years from many
dedicated people. Over time, some
members who had worked so hard for us have moved away or have gone on to
other things and we need to have the vital positions they had held filled
by new volunteers. We need your
help to continue to make PFLAG-LI the best it can be. We can only do it WITH YOUR HELP! Kindly let us know if you can help in
any of the following areas:
·
Program Committee - secure guest speakers for
our monthly meetings.
·
Co-Chair of Hospitality for Nassau and/or Suffolk – take
care of refreshments for our meetings.
·
Submit
feature articles and other content of interest to PFLAG LI members for
this web site.
