WE LOVE VOLUNTEERS!

VOLUNTEERING IS A GREAT WAY TO GET SERVICE HOURS (for Bright Futures, Scholarship applications, etc, or to do a nice thing for others).  Volunteering at an IQ event is fun!

Simply email your name, age, preferred shift, and cellphone number to [email protected].  Please put "Volunteer Feb 8ht" in the subject line!!
