Volunteers and Advisors Needed for Northwest Neighbors Network
Are you looking to give back to the community? Are you looking for opportunities to organize and host events? Are you looking forward to summer coming and the opportunity to do some fun activities with seniors?
NNN is creating an advisory council, while also recruiting for additional volunteers to help with social and outreach activities. NNN’s mission is to help seniors age well in their own homes by providing volunteer services and events. As a volunteer-run organization, NNN’s volunteers really are the backbone of our organization!
NNN serves residents in north King County (Shoreline and Lake Forest Park) and south Snohomish County (Edmonds, Brier, Woodway, Lynnwood, and Mountlake Terrace).

Advisory Council
We are looking for volunteer experts to advise the NNN board in the following areas: legal, human resources, insurance, healthcare, senior living, finance, fundraising, marketing/outreach, program development and evaluation, or low-income populations. This would be a two-year term, and you would serve as a valuable resource on any issues that arise. NNN would contact you no more than 4-5 times a year. Your expertise would be much appreciated as we grow and expand our service areas.
 
Volunteers
Now that things are starting to open up more, our services will be in more demand. During the pandemic, NNN has been quite active, helping members with transportation to medical appointments, running errands, and helping with gardening and light housework. NNN members continue to meet for outdoor walks and socially distanced lunches. As NNN expands social and outreach opportunities, we would love your help!
We are looking for volunteers to help with organizing and hosting events, developing new events and activities based on member interests, distributing materials to the community, helping to establish partnerships with other community groups and more! Time commitment is flexible, approximately 3-5 hours a month!
Please contact info@northwestneighborsnetwork or call 253-237-2848 to learn more! NNN is committed to an environment where everyone is treated with respect and dignity.

NNN Table at Lynnwood's Meet Me in the Park Events
Which volunteer might you see at the "Meet Me in the Park" events? NNN will have a booth at the Lynnwood community events on July 13, 20, and 27, and would love to have you drop by for a visit, or send a friend or neighbor to learn more.
 
Meet Me at the Park: Community Health & Resource Fair ● July 13, 20, 27 ● 6pm – 8pm
The City of Lynnwood is hosting three evening events at Wilcox Park where local non-profit agencies will provide information about their no-cost or low-cost services and programs for our community members. They will offer free, fun, safe activities for kids, prizes, and giveaways. These events are organized by the City of Lynnwood and the Verdant Health Commission.

Music Lovers?
Who might like to meet to talk about classical music?  We are checking to see if there is enough interest to get a few folks together occasionally. If you're interested, please email: social@northwestneighborsnetwork.org
