EARTH DAY VOLUNTEERS

f you love this planet, the 3rd annual Earth Day celebration is coming April 21 and you can help!  Volunteers in their teens and up are needed in a number of ways – selling healthy food at the Earth Day Café, helping vendors set up shop or assisting with eco-friendly craft projects.  Whether you are a true tree-hugger or just someone who enjoys the beauty of our community, there is a space for you to show you care.  Contact sustainableredwood@gmail.com.

CANADA DAY ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

Be a true patriot and take part in organizing the community’s “favourite” annual event!   The RMCA is looking for a small team of individuals to help make the 2013 Canada Day celebration better than ever.  If you love to come to the Canada Day in Redwood (who doesn’t?!), then why not be a part of it and work behind the scenes while having fun and meeting people at the same time?  There are many possible positions, from helping to organize the BBQ, ticket sales, kid’s activities, bike parade, beer garden and more!  Contact redwoodvolunteer@gmail.com if you heart  Canada.

ADULT AND TEEN SOCCER & BASEBALL COACHES, ASSISTANTS &  OTHER HELPERS

Get off the sidelines and join the action!  The Redwood sports field will soon be teaming with hundreds of kids kicking, passing and batting a ball.  Volunteers make this program a success year after a year.  The SOCCER program offers a free soccer coaching clinic from the Alberta Soccer Association, an awesome t-shirt and a great group of kids to share your love of sport with!  If you are hopeless on the field but still want to contribute, we need you too!  Contact Wanda at rmcasports@gmail.com.

RIGHT TO PLAY FUN RUN ORGANIZERS

Redwood’s Third Annual Fun Run teams up once again with Marathon Man and Right to Play Sports Ambassador Martin Parnell for this “FUNdraiser”!  If you think you can keep up with Martin, come work with the project leader to develop and publicize this event on June 2.  Help with registration at Redwood events, collect draw prizes, distribute publicity and help with set up on the day of the event.  Take this opportunity and RUN with it!!   Call Carol at 403-949-2238 or carol@scarratt.org for more info.

Community Volunteer Opportunities

Meet like-minded people, enrich the community with your special skills or learn new skills!   It’s your home – take pride in our beautiful community and help keep it vibrant and fun for you and your family!

Below are just some of the opportunities waiting for you …

RMCA Social Coordinator and Children’s Events Coordinator

If you are a good organizer and want to help plan social events in the community, join the Redwood Meadows Community Association and be part of a great team of residents who are committed to keeping Redwood a vibrant and fun community.

Redwood Meadows Sustainability Committee

Join a growing movement of like-minded residents interested in implementing the foundations of sustainability in our community.  This new committee is dedicated to the balancing of environmental, social and economic needs of our residents, with a vision of lessening our impact on the Earth, enhancing our social connections with those around us and finding ways to live happily and healthfully in our community.  We are looking for individuals who are interested in the following projects:

  • Green community certification
  • Promoting chemical-free public green spaces and yard care
  • Enhancing and protecting our relationship with local wildlife
  • Organizing special events such as Earth Day, Earth Hour and a summer River celebration.
  • Expanding our existing bulk-buying club
  • Initiating carpooling / carshare  arrangements

If you are interested in any of the above or have ideas of your own to share, please contact Shana@barbourwelsh.com

Redwood House Library

We are looking for one or two individuals to help set up and run the Library in Redwood House.  The Library is currently full of books and ready to be used but just needs to be freshened up with some new stock.  If you love books and reading to children, this is a great little get-away in the heart of the Community – we just need someone in there to get it organized a little bit.

Call 949-3563 or email redwoodvolunteer@gmail.com

The Chatter

The Chatter – our community newsletter – is always looking for content from residents.  Start a new monthly column, submit an article or write a short story.  Contact thechatter@redwoodmeadows.ab.ca

Spring Sports Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Helpers

The 2011 RMCA Sports season is approaching and as always we are looking to our community members to help keep our great soccer and baseball programs a success as they do year after year.  It’s never too early to volunteer – the sooner we have coaches lined up, the faster we can get organized for the upcoming season.   Contact rmcasports@gmail.com.
