PTO Note

SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER TO HELP HELEN KELLER PTO
Good morning!

My name is Lisa Kelly and I'm the PTO Public Relations Administrator.  One of my responsibilities is the coordination of volunteers for various PTO sponsored activities.  This year, we're using VolunteerSpot (the leading online Sign-up and reminder tool) to organize our upcoming sign-ups.  See how you can volunteer, sign up, receive email reminders, and even swap with another volunteer all in one place.
Here's how it works in 3 easy steps:
2) Review the options listed and choose the spot(s) you like.  You can volunteer for as many or as few dates as you'd like.
3) Sign up! It's Easy - you will NOT need to register an account or keep a password on VolunteerSpot.
Note: VolunteerSpot does not share your email address with anyone. If you prefer not to use your email address, please contact Lisa Kelly at 708-533-4224 or APRILFL77@YAHOO.COM  and I can sign you up manually.

Be sure to check VolunteerSpot often, as we will be adding new events and activities.  Have a great day!
Lisa Kelly
