Lend a hand

Club phone

Do you like to help people? Talk on the phone? Home part of most days? If so, maybe you could take over the club telephone. After over 10 years of answering questions and redirecting calls, Marilyn Ward is stepping down. There is a messaging system and calls could be forwarded to someone else for short periods if you are away on vacation. If you think you might be able to assume this responsibility then contact Ann MacKenzie at annmackenzie@rogers.com or phone 613-736-7051. If you want to know what the job entails, you may call the club line 613-722-3050 and ask Marilyn.

OFNC needs someone who understands accounting

Asset or liability? Debit or credit?

Do you know the difference? Not all the expertise needed by the club comes under a natural history heading.

The OFNC is a business with significant financial transactions. Are you comfortable with accounting and accounting software (we use Simply Accounting)? If so, and you have a bit of time to volunteer, we could use a hand with our books.

Contact the Treasurer, Frank Pope at 613 829-1281 or f.pope@sympatico.ca.

Fletcher Wildlife Garden needs a Backyard Garden Coordinator

Our team of "Friday morning volunteers" has been taking care of the Backyard Garden part of the FWG for many years. Unfortunately, we've been without a coordinator for the last few of those years.

Although season-to-season work gets done, the garden needs someone who has an overall vision and sense of design. Attracting wildlife is the garden's main function, but it also has to be a place where people want to spend time. Also, as the garden matures, it needs an expert hand to guide those changes and keep the garden fresh and alive.

If you can help, please contact us at fletcher@ofnc.ca.
