    It’s time for another Volgistics Users Gathering!!

    Tuesday, May 28th

    8:30 am -10 am

    Lyngblomsten Care Center

    1415 Almond Avenue

    St. Paul

     

    This Volgistics Users Gathering is open to anyone that uses Volgistics.  Attendees can be paid staff, volunteers, former Volgistics users, new Volgistics users, those thinking about becoming Volgistics users, the list goes on.  If you know anyone that might benefit from attending our gathering, please feel free to pass this invitation along. 

     

    The format for these gatherings is question and answer, with the answer coming from the person in the group that has the most experience in the particular area of Volgistics.  We do have Volgistics projected onto a screen at the front of the room, so participants at the gathering are able to see how Volgistics looks “in action.”  This gathering is scheduled to occur every other month on the last Tuesday of the month.  Thinking ahead in 2013, meeting dates will be July 30, September 24 and November 26.  

     

    This Volgistics Users Gathering is free, but please RSVP to Shelli Beck (sbeck@lyngblomsten.org) so that we can have enough chairs available.  The Users Gathering is held in the Chapel within the Care Center.  The receptionist can direct you if you have not been to Lyngblomsten before. Please send questions that you would like addressed during the Volgistics Users Gathering to Haley Nelson at [HNelson@mcm.org] or by calling Haley at 651-225-6112. 

     

    Networking is encouraged, please bring your business cards! If you have any questions about the Volgistics Users Gathering, please call Shelli at 651-414-5297 or Haley at 651-225-6112.

    In the current economic environment, many organizations are rethinking how volunteers can be involved in higher level and leadership roles. With limited resources for staff, this is one of the few routes open to do more, or even keep up. You will:

    • ·         Explore opportunities for involving volunteers being placed in higher responsibility roles
    • ·         Look at the complexities of volunteers being placed in higher responsibility roles
    • ·         Offer a framework for looking at expanded roles for volunteer involvement

     

    The workshop is free.  No preregistration is required, but kindly let our committee members (listed below) know if you can come!
