IF YOU MAKE A VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT- Please KEEP IT! The organizations that have asked for IVY volunteers, have done so because THEY NEED YOU!!! If you sign up to help and don't show-it can put them in a terrible bind and it makes IVY seem very undependable.
If for some reason you cannot fulfill a commitment, either call Deb Walz, 753-0068 or the contact name listed on the web.
If we get reputation of not being reliable, IVY will not have much of a future.
If you have any question you may call Deb or GRADE A PLUS.
