Editor’s Note: In the May, 2019, issue, we published a partial list of local organizations that welcome volunteers. The list we chose from had more than 60 entries. Our plan is to publish a permanent list on this website that will include others who wish to be included. If you are a member of any such organization that has not yet appeared in this list, we welcome having you contact us with your favorite group’s current information. The best contact is Ruth Zimmerman at (860) 833-7525 or ruthzimm@aol.com.
