Many hands makes for light work. Help with the AMC activities you enjoy!
Program Committee needs volunteers to help plan and organize our chapter-wide events like the Spring Dinner or the Annual Gathering. You can help with any part of the event planning from finding a guest speaker to helping people register at the door. Email Mike Sinsigalli at programs@ct-amc.org. If you volunteer to help, you will not have some huge task dumped in your lap. Much of the work involved in running these events does not chanvge year to year and finding the main speaker is the fun part! Help with the fun and meet interesting people in the process.
Membership Committee needs volunteers to help with many small tasks. For information, email Jim Scheef at webmaster@ct-amc.org.

Several of these descriptions talk about "small tasks." These are indeed, small tasks that need to be done yet do not require reinventing the Internet. Meet interesting people while having fun.
