In 2024-2025, the Community Service Committee was chaired by Leah Whitesel.
The members of the committee were Jim Fortsas, Kristen Naik, and Julie Melvin.
Volunteer Opportunities
We successfully coordinated the following three volunteering opportunities from September 2024 to March 2025:
- September 2024: Montrose Beach Clean Up with the Alliance for the Great Lakes
- November 2024: Fighting food insecurity at the Friendship Center
- March 2025:Re-packing clothing with Cradles to Crayons
Fundraisers at Business Meetings
Additionally, in conjunction with each of the quarterly CALL Business Meetings, a specific organization was selected that met the charitable organization selection criteria created by the Executive Board. CALL membership was encouraged to make monetary donations to the following entities:
- September 2024: Alliance for the Great Lakes
- November 2024: Friendship Center
- February 2025: Cradles to Crayons
This approach of direct donation did not permit us to track the total number or dollar amount of donations made by CALL membership to each organization.
However, each organization could accept donations via credit card and/or PayPal, so we are confident that CALL members who wished to make donations were able to do so quickly and conveniently.
