Volunteer Opportunity
We have an opening for an Assistant Store Manager! Volunteer will lead in coordinating business aspects of the Friends' Eagles Nest nature store.
Volunteer will lead in accounting tasks for the Friends nature store at two locations and online store, including scheduling store volunteers and providing monthly reports to the board. Volunteer will be able to account for cash flow including appropriate documentation. The assistant manager will assist with physical inventory counts and other store tasks, ex. packaging and shipping, working in the store when it reopens after COVID-19. The position will be a backup for the store manager.
See the position description for more information. Reach out by email at FriendsofSherburne@gmail.com.
See the "At The Refuge" page for how our first "remote" annual all-members meeting proceeded. The downloadable annual report tells how we moved even more of our activities to remote access.
