Volunteering Your Time
Volunteers are essential to running the club. From becoming a board member, running the music, helping out on the ice as a program assistant, running events such as carnival, holiday ice show, etc.. Sometimes there may be volunteer opportunities that help both other organizations run events and raise money for our club, such as the Embro Tractor Pull. Current volunteer opportunities are listed below.
