Volunteer/Activist Opportunities

"Our deeds still travel with us from afar,
and what we have been makes us what we are."

- George Eliot

Activist/Volunteers Needed:

Solar Energy Promoter: Are you interested in promoting solar energy and have some time to assist in making solar permits more affordable in your area? We are teaming up with Loma Prieta Chapter to help expand their successful solar permit fee campaign state wide. We are looking for a few volunteers from throughout the Redwood Chapter to help with this effort. The campaign is set up to train people and provides lots of support and assistance. If you are interested please contact Jay: rrraul@sonic.net or Margaret: penningt@sonic.net.

North Group Hike Leaders: North Group is desperately seeking hike leaders. Please contact Al Muelhofer, the outings chair, at akm@myyellowstone.net; 707-482-0520.

Sonoma Group Environmental Forum Committee: Vice-chair and Committee members needed. Help plan the monthly meetings for the Sierra Club. Design speakers and programs. Create newsletter write ups and meet exciting environmental advocates throughout our community. 1-6 hours per month (except August and December). PLEASE NOTE...there is no Forum this February, because more help is needed for there to be a forum most months! YOUR help is NEEDED. Try it, you will probably enjoy this creative way to give to the community and our future! Contact Veronica Jacobi vjacobi@sonic.net.

Sonoma Group Water Committee: Help the Sonoma Group Water Committee! HELP SAVE WATER. Work with the Committee on water issues. We are currently working to advance Rainwater Harvesting and Water Reuse in our area. The water committee could use an editorial writer to help explain how people can collect and use rainwater to save this precious resource. The time requirement is limited. Help protect the quality of our water for people, wildlife, fish and other aquatic life. Promote water conservation and intelligent reuse. Contact Len Holt at 707-527-7516 or at leonard.l.holt@us.mwhglobal.com.
