CSS Volunteers and Training
In order to maintain a full compliment of trained security monitors at Netivot Shalom on Shabbat on over the upcoming holidays, we need more volunteers to step up and join the CSS rotation. CSS is currently seeking new volunteers to undergo the basic level one training, which will take place in late July. This training is two brief sessions.
For those interested in the more advanced training, we seriously need additional volunteers to run the shifts and relieve the burden on those who have been working very hard for the community all year.
Please contact Lew Michelson for more information and to be included in either level of training.
