Volunteer for SAGA
SAGA President Bobbi Smith wrote in the most recent SAGANews that “One of my main goals during my Presidency is for everyone to become involved in our organization.” Members are the most important part of SAGA, and we all need to work for its success. We share our passions about the sewing and needlearts and we are all intent on preserving these arts for future generations to enjoy. The SAGA Board of Directors would like every member to think about how she might volunteer to help SAGA thrive. It might be in your local chapter. But volunteering for SAGA national is a terrific opportunity for members to make a valuable contribution to the mission of the organization. You will meet new people, gain experience in managing an organization, and maybe get some insider insights. Bobbi concludes, “It’s a good feeling to make such a difference...ask me how I know.”
