Volunteers and Staff Needed

[ImperialSound_Director]

Hello,

I'm the director of the Imperial Youth Arts organization, situated in West Chester, Pennsylvania. We have the eventual goal of starting a Drum & Bugle Corps in the area.

Currently, we are in need of the following positions for board-level positions:

Financial Director - Someone who has experience with finance and budgeting and loves drum corps.

Legal Advisor - A paralegal, lawyer, or anyone who has experience with NPOs or wants to learn. Must be able to look over all documents, assess liability protection and protection of assets, and assess risk management concerns as they arise.

Organization Manager - Someone who would like to coordinate fundraising activites and have a hand in the creative aspects of the organization.

We also need fundraising volunteers, if anyone out there would like to help, as well as someone to head up the fundraising committee. This is an important area of our organization that needs to be ready ASAP. If you want to help, please reach the director at the email address provided below.

As per our status, we are unincorporated as of yet, the reason being that our constitution is still being drafted, and we have yet to fill our Board of Directors. We have all documents signed, filled, and pending filing.

Anyone interested in volunteering should contact the director at galenct@msn.com Resumes are preffered but not required.

We want everyone to feel like they are a part of the team and have a voice. Especially on the creative and business side of the organization, we want people to express their interests and abilities through sale and design. If everything goes according to plan, we will have corps jackets available for our volunteers and board members by the end of our first year as an organization.

Remember, by helping us out, you are ensuring that another drum corps remains off the list of folded corps. You are promoting the growth of the activity, and the great things that drum corps does to the young men and women who are involved.

That is why the jackets will be available. The people who help in the first year have the hardest job: trusting a new organization with their time and effort. We will be open to opinion and new ideas. That is how we move drum corps forward. That is what we wish to promote.

Our mission statement reads as follows:

"To promote achievement of both individual and group success,

and music education, and to support the arts and their many

roles within the local and global community."

Thank you for your time. We hope that you will consider volunteering for the positions listed above.

Sincerely,

Robert Azzarano
