Talent
The SJPA members understand that some families are not able to give volunteer time due to work, commitments, etc.  We also know that the families that make up the St. Joseph's community have diverse backgrounds in what they do or who they know.  In this section of the volunteer form, we are asking you to volunteer any talents or resources you can "donate" for the cause.  For example, our event requires printing (i.e. brochures, flyers, programs), so if you or your family have connections to a print shop/graphic designer, that would be a great resource for the SJPA.  Other examples may include florists, restaurants, photographers. We appreciate all the blessings of talent you can offer to our group of volunteers.
