FERNDALE, NY — Individuals interested in making a difference in Sullivan County are invited to an open house for volunteeers on Wednesday, February 4 at 7 p.m. in the CVI Building at 165 Sullivan Ave.

The evening offers an opportunity to learn details about the variety of ways volunteers can share their skills, both as part of the Sullivan Renaissance Volunteer Corps and directly in local communities throughout the county.

New for this year through the Renaissance En Español program, bilingual individuals are encouraged to join the volunteer corps to provide translation assistance to help remove the language barrier.

Information about new aspects of the 2015 Volunteer Corps program, an overview of new initiatives and resources for community volunteers, and various gardening trainings will be presented.

Pre-registration is requested. Refreshments will be served. Everyone attending will be entered in a door prize raffle. Visit SullivanRenaissance.org or call 845/295-2445.
