New Business:
Volunteer Opportunities Brochure—Glory Spies has been receiving many calls recently for
volunteer,opportunities with the City of Yorkville. Glory now asks for the HRC to put together a
brochure for new and current residents who want to be involved in our community. Some opportunities
are posted on Yorkville's website but many more opportunities are still out there and unknown to the
general public. Cecelia researched and pointed out that the Dupage County website offers an excellent
list of opportunities in their area. Glory also suggested to form a core group to help generally in the
community. HR.0 has accepted the task in creating a brochure and will now begin the process of
searching for all organizations that need volunteer help. We also need recipients for the volunteers who
may serve on the core group. Lastly, we must also get the word out on our Volunteer of The Year
Award nomination,
