On Saturday, January 14th, there will be a meeting for anyone interested in volunteering with Brief Encounters or possibly joining the board. Volunteer opportunities include helping with BE events, responding to messages left on the message line, helping with the newsletter, working on the BE Web site, hospital liaison, Spanish-speaking support person and many others. The meeting will be at 10:00 am at the Peace House.
We need volunteers to respond to messages left on the Brief Encounters message line!
Telephone facilitators commit to checking messages one specified day a week and returning calls as needed. Since this involves involves talking to newly bereaved parents, we ask that you wait to volunteer for this position until at least a year from your own loss. If you would like to help in this way, please email Pat@tearsoup.com or come to the next board meeting on January 14th at 10:00 am at the Peace House.
