| The Historic Rivers Chapter Volunteer Service Projects Committee is chaired by Susan Powell. To submit a project proposal, please download the Volunteer Project Proposal Requirements and Forms document available in word format or pdf format, and submit Part 1 to Susan. | ||
| The
following table lists all Volunteer Service Projects that have been
approved by the Historic Rivers Chapter Volunteer Service Projects
Committee. If additional information is available
for a volunteer service project (such as the project proposal form or a
link to the website), the
title is denoted by green rather than blue text. Clicking the text will
link to that information.
To request additional information, please email the contact
person(s) assigned to each project. Email links are provided in the
table and should open as a separate window. This table was last updated on 3 August 2010. |
