We hope you signed up to volunteer for this event as part of the Rotary Club of Springfield Team! The deadline for signing up was April 4. Club members have enjoyed volunteering for this event in the past (image above and below)
The United Way Day of Action is always a great deal of fun and very well attended by Rotarians. The spring event will be on Friday, April 25, 2025, from 1:00-4:00 p.m. at various locations to be assigned closer to the day of service. This year, volunteers are invited to an appreciation luncheon beginning from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at noon at the Salvation Army are Clearlake Ave. Participants will also receive a complimentary United Way t-shirt for volunteering. We hope you registered by the April 4 deadline. If you invited others to accompany you, a reminder the minimum age to volunteer is 8 years old for the day of service.
If you had some difficulty signing up as part of the Rotary group, I provided an updated solution. I was having difficulty as well creating the group so I reached out to United Way for clarification.
For future reference for signing up a group, each individual volunteer has to complete/”respond” to the Day of Action opportunity on the Get Connected site. I linked the sign-up link; when you click that, scroll down until you see the blue “respond” button, and then click that. Once you’ve done that, you will be asked to answer a series of questions, including “Company” and “Team Leader”; that is where you indicate “Rotary” for the company question and then type Ken Gilmore for team leader. Each individual needs to do this as the sign up asks questions on volunteer’s contact information, t-shirt size, etc.! As long as you typed “Rotary” on your sign-up, then the United Way coordinators will know to put all of us in the same group when assigning the volunteer site.
