Tonight is the Volunteer Info Fair, 4:30-8:30pm

Do you want to give back to the community? Are you looking for a local volunteer opportunity? Or have you ever wondered how to get involved on a non-profit board? Find it all at the CYP CLUB's Volunteer Info Fair 2010 on Wednesday, August 11th from 4:30-8:30pm at the Hilton Columbus at Easton!

This is a FREE EVENT to attend, with plenty of social networking opportunities, nearly 50 non-profits represented, complimentary appetizers (while they last), a cash bar, DJ, and giveaways every 30 minutes. There will be a suggested donation at the door - 100% of which will go to a charity present at this event - selected by a drawing. Don't miss it!

The casual, networking expo event offers attendees a unique opportunity to connect with dozens of local non-profit organizations and their representatives, as we raise awareness of volunteerism among our members and the entire YP community of central Ohio. The event is geared toward community-minded young professionals throughout central Ohio, however ALL Columbus-area residents are welcome to attend.

New this year, we will be offering attendees a 15-minute special presentation on "The Importance of Volunteerism in the Community," delivered by Dr. Terry Boyd, the Associate Dean for Academic Programs at Franklin University, and who has filled several positions with the City of Columbus, including Executive Administrative Officer to the Director of Human Services; Administrator of the Minority and Female Business Development Office; Administrator of Community Services; and the Administrator of the Youth Services Bureau. This presentation will occur in the ballroom from 5:30-5:45pm.

Serving as co-host and DJ for this event will be Mark Dantzer of Mix 107.9FM!
