Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Come to the next open monthly meeting on the third Monday, 6 to 7 pm, on Zoom or in the park, or email info@friendsofvernonpark.org to ask how to volunteer..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Meetings run one hour, on the third Monday from 6 to 7 pm. In warm weather you meet in the park, so bring a blanket or chair; in cold or bad weather the meeting moves to Zoom. The site does not describe who usually attends, and it invites help with time, skills, or money.

Tips for your first visit

  • In warm weather, bring a blanket or chair for the meeting in the park.
  • In cold or bad weather the meeting is on Zoom, and the mailing list has the details.
  • One page says the meeting is on the second Monday, so confirm the date by email first.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site says all are welcome, lists a regular open meeting, and gives an email for questions. It does not describe a sign-up step..
