We all know that community service brings people together and

opportunities to thrive. During this session we will explore
how involving yourself in community service makes
you an active member of the community as you can help create a positive impact
on your community and those who live there.
This will be an interactive workshop, so please bring your ideas

meetings, socials, community services, and other important aspects that can
help your club. Nothing wrong with any of the generations but check your Facebook
