Runners

We have need of volunteers in the Lexington area willing to run errands - usually "pick up and delivery." Some types of jobs would require medium heavy lifting and a vehicle with capacity to transport large items. Other "pick up and delivery" jobs would be simple, lightweight, and require no special transportation capacity. If you would be willing to join our list of "runners," please contact:
Email: Cumberland Chapter.
Phone: (859) 296-4335

Digital Archiving

We need someone in the Lexington or surrounding area to help transfer documents from paper to digital format. A scanner and a computer with the ability to burn CD/DVDs or save to a USB thumb drive are necessary. This job can be done from home. The bulk of this work will occur April - May and require approximately 2-3 hours/week. If you would be willing to help, please contact:

Photographers

Photographers – we need digital photos of Kentucky to use on our website, the newsletter, and other Chapter publications. Animals, landscapes, flora, Kentucky Sierra Club events, issues-related pictures (sprawl, air pollution, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, water pollution, mountain top removal, etc.), outings activities (sporting, service, inner-city), etc. – we could use them all for a Kentucky Sierra Club photo archive. If you’d be willing to share your art with us (we’d be sure to credit you!), Email it to Cumberland Chapter.

Volunteer Interest Survey

Friends, Members & Volunteers! Your Chapter and Group Membership committees are working hard on strengthening and expanding our Cumberland Chapter's capacity to do the environmental work in Kentucky that is so important to all of us.
Please share your outings, conservation and volunteer interests with us by completing our on-line Volunteer Interest Survey (this will be temporarily down between May 6-19, 2008 - but please consider completing and mailing us a hard copy!), or click here to print a copy, fill it out, and return it to us at:

Cumberland Chapter, Sierra Club
PO Box 1368
Lexington, KY 40588-1368

This survey is for EVERYONE!! The information will help us network our experienced volunteers with friends and members who have interest in the same area of expertise and want to be more involved.
Additionally, understanding the interests and make-up of our membership in Kentucky will help us better serve and engage our current family of members, grow and diversify our membership base, and strengthen our communication and mobilization capacities. Every member is important - we would love to hear from each of you. Thank you for helping us continue to grow in our capacity to nurture, protect, and otherwise be faithful stewards of Kentucky's environment.
