Volunteer Roster – We Need Your Help!

Rendezvous offers a great opportunity for our members to get involved, meeting members from all over the Province, by volunteering a few hours of their time to make RV 2026 another great success.

Volunteering for one or more of these positions presents a great way for the general membership to say “thank you” and allow the hardworking RV Committee, your Chapter & Provincial Executives, a moment to catch their breath and enjoy the weekend as well!

Please click the link below, review the Roster regarding what areas remain unfilled. If there is an opening(s) you would be willing to take on, contact Claudia Zamprogno and she will register you for the openings of your choice.  Do consider offering your time wherever you can, remember –  many hands make light work!

Thanks for your consideration – We appreciate your help!
