Charity/Volunteer Service

I volunteer for the annual crab feast for the Wicomico County Republican

Party (WCRC). I research and obtain silent auction items from sponsors for

the crab feast to raise funds for the WCRC. I design the fliers that go out

for advertisement, I arrange for volunteers to help, and manage the auction

the day of the event. I am also the Treasurer. As the Treasurer, I am also in

charge of monitoring and supplying all the reports related to all the events

the WCRC arranges during the year; this includes during the election years.

My finance books go through yearly audits which I am proud to say have

had excellent results. (2011 - current)

I volunteered to be on an events committee at a country club I use to be a

member of. All of us as a team would come up with the theme for an event.

I was in charge of designing the fliers and posters for advertisement.

(2005 - 2007)

I would volunteer at a church every year for the homeless. We would open

up the church for one week for the homeless to have a place for them to

sleep; we would provide them with a meal at dinner time and a breakfast

meal. I was amazed at how greatful everyone was for this simple gesture of

kindness. (2002 - 2010)

I volunteer every month for a Senior Social at my church. We pick up those

who are unable to drive, provide all of them with a nice luncheon, and play

games and cards with them for the afternoon. All the volunteers find this

very rewarding. (2002 - current)

I was very active in rasing funds for the United Way. When I worked at

First Data Merchant Services, we would have a United Way fund drive

every year. I would help with the site event too. (2000 - 2007)

I am in charge of the card ministry at my church. This involves insuring

that cards are sent to all members of our church who need support, who are

sick, have had a death affect them, if they need a word of encouragement,

perhaps just a thinking of you card or just to wish them a happy birthdays or

an anniversary wish. (2014 - current)

I am charge of our church’s monthly calendar. This allows me to work

directly with the entire church leadership to ensure I capture all events

within the particular month. I then distribute this to the congregation via

email and a hard copy to those who do not have email. I also complete all

advertising including designing fliers for church events to the local public

and media. (2010 - current)

I am in charge of the church’s monthly events. This requires research,

planning, arranging, organizing, advertising and set up the day of the event.

Something different every month. ( 2011 - current)
