Volunteer: Direct mail preparationsOnce a year, Roane Imagination Library reaches out to members of the community through mailings. We seek enrollments, we invite people to receptions, we inform folks of special events, and yes, we ask for contributions. To get a mailing ready for the post office we have an envelope stuffing party in early July. That is, several people get together around a large table and in assembly line fashion prepare, fold, stuff, stick and lick. There is always a lot of laughter, usually fun food, and many new friendships. Time commitment is about 2 hours. This could be a great service project for a club. We would like to develop a list of individuals or groups willing to check their calendars and join us when needed.
