  Hi Wendy,

  Welcome to the VPA!  

  Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the VPA when signing-up to become an on-line member.  We are hosting a Volunteer Orientation at the VPA Office on Thursday, March 14^th at 6:30pm-8:00pm.  Please RSVP here.  I also encourage you to join the “Volunteer” Group to stay alerted of all the volunteer opportunities we have available.  You, the Volunteer, make it possible for the VPA to accomplish our mission of inspiring sustainable urban living in the desert southwest.

  I also see that you are a Marketing professional.  If you are unable to attend the orientation but looking to get engaged with volunteering with us, I know we have several projects that are "marketing-oriented" that I would love to talk with you.  Please let me know and perhaps we can set-up a meeting one-on-one at your convenience.

  Thanks so much,

  Kat Farris
