Calling all Volunteers

In our last poll we asked readers if they were willing to volunteer time to the City of Overland to help on committees and other projects. A look at the poll results shows that the majority of the respondents said they're interested in doing so.

Now I'm going to ask those who expressed an interest in volunteering to step up. I'm hoping that in the coming months there will be several citizen committees created to allow volunteers to help the City. What I would like to do is create a contact list to give to the City Clerk for the Council to hopefully make that process a little easier.

If you're interested they need to know who you are. If you Email Me your:

• Name
• Address
• Phone number (and the best time(s) to call)
• Email address

I'll put it all together in a list of potential volunteers and give that to the City Clerk.

Please include your areas of interest like Community Development, Emergency Management, Public Works, Parks, Beautification, City History, etc. I will include those interests in the list as best as I can.

Rest assured, I'll only be giving this list to the City Clerk. I will not give it to anyone else nor will it be used for any other purpose (I doubt I'll even save it on my computer).

Obviously this is a bit of a leap of faith. So if you do not feel comfortable providing this information to me I completely understand. If that is the case give it a week or so for the list to be developed and given to the City. Once it's submitted I'll let everyone know in a post. Then, if you prefer, you can contact the City directly and ask if they could add you to it.

Hopefully a number of people step up as this list could be a great resource for the City. That is assuming that they do start creating Citizen Committees and the like that so many of us support.

Feel free to comment on this but DO NOT post your contact information and the like. Doing so would be making it public to anyone in the world who happened across this site (and I will delete any comments like this I come across). To submit information to be included in this list all you need to do is email the information to me.

Happy V-E Day Everyone!
