Consider Volunteering: The Benefits are Endless!

Several volunteer opportunities are currently available within the City of Redmond. Redmond community events, such as Derby Days and RedmondLights, utilize the talents of hundreds of community volunteers. The City is currently recruiting volunteers for the 2008 Redmond event schedule including events such as Derby Days, Eggstravaganza, Fun to be Fit Fair and RedmondLights. For Redmond students, community service hours do apply.

Vacancies are currently available on the Derby Days steering committee. Would you enjoy serving as chair of children’s activities or volunteer recruitment? Join other Redmond residents and business people and help plan the 68th annual Redmond Derby Days. Your talents and time are needed.

“I can’t thank enough all the wonderful volunteers that come out every year to help us,” noted Jill Smith, Marketing and Events Administrator. “Volunteers help to make Redmond an outstanding community-oriented place to live, work and play.”

Do you enjoy the satisfaction of helping others and giving to your community? Studies show many health benefits associated with volunteering. It increases self esteem, lowers blood pressure, reduces stress on the body and even bolsters the immune system. In addition to these health benefits, volunteering builds community.

Please contact Jill Smith at 425-556-2360 or jesmith@redmond.gov to learn more about the volunteer opportunities available.
