In addition, we are looking for a Fundraising Assistant to help Deb organize our annual Holiday Fundraiser in December. Most of this work will be completed before finals week, and involves coming up with decoration ideas, and donation collection. We ask that this person be able to donate 3 to 5 hours a we

If any of these positions sound interesting to you or you know someone who might be interested, please send us an email, give us a call, or stop by the office!

Volunteer Events!

On Tuesday November 11 (Veteran's Day) we will be hosting a volunteer get-together and pot luck.  We will provide chili, all you have to do is bring your favorite dish to share.  In addition, we will be watching a short water-related/fishing video and playing some fun games (no, not the ones we play with the kids) :-)  The event will start at 6 pm here at the WEN office. Please RSVP for this event by giving us a call or emailing us so we can plan accordingly.

On December 12, WEN will be having our annual holiday fundraiser at Ten Spoon Winery.  There will be lots of cool raffle items including Patagonia gear!  Mark your calendars for this great event, and more details will come!
