BSG looking for more volunteers

General News
Happy New Year! 
Writing this in the balmy October autumn, I do hope we are not soon shovelling snow!  However, it is the longer days and colder weather that sends me once more on the search for new volunteers to join the BSG to help our community.
With a wide range of opportunities, would you consider sharing your time with someone who needs a bit of extra help?  Could you spare even a half an hour a month?
