Calling for 2010 Chair Positions

Fay's Friends is officially launched and has already been busy interfacing with donors and businesses and managing the collection of items for our Comfort Bags. However, there is much work to be done and in order for Nicole to focus on the creation and development of the Resource Book, we need several dedicated volunteers in the upcoming year to devote a minimum of a few hours a month to Fay's Friends.

The term will be from Feb. 1, 2010 - Feb 1., 2011. This will be a virtual team and volunteers from any location are welcome to apply. There will be monthly conference calls to review upcoming projects and status and of course, regular email and phone conversations.

Positions available include:

Hospitality (2)
- Help plan and oversee Fay's Friend Events
- Assist Fundraising committee as needed

Fundraising (2)
- Help solicit donations, in-kind products and services for the Comfort Bags, foster relationships with printers, etc.
- Recruit local FF teams in the locations of Bag distribution to get support from local businesses, certificate donations, vouchers, etc.

Comfort Bag Coordinators - To be located in the Richmond, VA area**
- Assist in the assembly, packaging and shipping of the Comfort Bags
- Assist in maintaining inventory of items, and producing "Items Needed" lists

All ideas are welcome, we are working hard to carry out the mission of Fay's Friends - to help families who are sleeping in hospital chairs getting words they have never heard of before not have to worry about simple things like where to stay, who to call, what the terms mean and to bring a ray of sunshine in a funny quote, journal to write home, assistance with setting up Caring Bridge and other great tools to connect with families, friends and donors.

LET'S DO THIS THING!!!!
