The Twin Bridges Lightning Organization operates solely on a volunteer basis. It relies on its members to keep it running smoothly and allows us to keep our programs as affordable as possible. The more the membership participates, the stronger the organization will be. For the 2008-2009 season the Twin Bridges Lightning Organization is requiring all families to perform 5 hours of volunteer service to the club. All Member Families will be assessed the Volunteer Fee of $75.00 at the time of registration for the 2008 – 2009 season. Once the family has completed their 5 volunteer hours, this form needs to be completed and returned for refund of their Volunteer Hours Payment. There are a number of items listed below that count towards your volunteer hours, and any other activity may be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval and addition to this list.
