Volunteers We need help for these events. We currently need a volunteer for the Bay Bio Critter Search. For many of our activities, we need people who attend them to learn about how they are run, then act as standbys or alternates. We also need people to take leadership positions in “new” events such as meetings (best done with several people if planning to have an outside speaker). Call Dave at 941-377-5459 if interested. |
