If you are looking to be more involved within the community, what better way to spend this summer than to be involved in community events by volunteering! Volunteering offers a chance for you to impact the community directly while also expanding your network of professionals. There are numerous ways to volunteer your time this summer from coaching a youth sports team, to church activities, to FLEX sponsored events.
A great way to be more involved in the community and FLEX this summer is to participate in the two main events on our summer calendar, Bike n’ Brew and the Oil Heritage Festival Ice Cream Social.
The beloved Oil Heritage Festival Ice Cream Social will be held Thursday, July 18 in the Central Avenue Plaza – the alley between Christ Episcopal Church and the Oil City Library.
Join us from 4:30-6:00, 6:00-7:30, or both shifts to provide ice cream and smiles to members of the community while enjoying the wonderful Oil Heritage Festival activities.
The OHF Bike n’ Brew will be held on July 20 and takes place in the courtyard of the Venango Chamber. FLEX is looking for volunteers who can:
• Help distribute flyers to local businesses
• Pick up beer from local craft breweries
• Pack tote bags the night prior to the event
• Set up the event
• Provide assistance during the event
• Assist with clean up after the event
Volunteer signups for both the Ice Cream social and Bike N Brew will be shared in email and on Facebook soon! If your organization has upcoming volunteer opportunities this summer, we would love to hear more about them to share with our members.
To sign up to volunteer at FLEX sponsored events or to share other volunteer opportunities, please share them in the Facebook group or contact us at flex@venangochamber.org.
