Like most organizations we always need volunteers.  Whether you have just a few hours annually to spare (and meet some great people) or have a few hours a month throughout the spring and summer, we would love to have your help.  If your interest is in a particular sport we could use you to recruit & be a contact for interested participants for that sport.  If you have a little more time & energy we also need overall area and zone sports coordinators to schedule playoffs and collect registrations.  If you like convincing people to improve their health and social life, we could use your talents distributing brochures and recruiting members, and if you are able to convince people to support the games in a monetary manner, we could use your fundraising talents and ideas. The Society also has a sponsorship and partnership program for donations of $500 or more.  For more information click on "Partner" on this site.
