TCOR<br />

We sat and chatted over a coffee, and<br />

he was inspired by the information I<br />

provi<strong>de</strong>d. I would highly recommend<br />

that other members of the<br />

TCOR community volunteer<br />

with HealthPartners, as it is<br />

a great way to overcome any<br />

fears one may have about<br />

public speaking!<br />

As a board member, I was<br />

pushed out of my comfort<br />

zone, and learned new skills<br />

that I would not otherwise have<br />

learned. I was introduced to the process<br />

of passing resolutions as well as<br />

the budgetary process. The people I<br />

volunteer with at Bingo are very caring<br />

and <strong>de</strong>dicated individuals, and<br />

over time we have become a tightknit<br />

group that enjoy each other’s<br />

company. Our Saturday morning sessions<br />

are i<strong>de</strong>al for anyone interested<br />

in volunteering, as it is not that busy.<br />

There are many opportunities<br />

to volunteer with TCOR,<br />

regardless of whether you are a<br />

board member or not.<br />

Besi<strong>de</strong>s, once the session is over, you<br />

still have the rest of your weekend to<br />

spend time with family and friends.<br />

The money earned from Bingo is one<br />

of TCOR’s highest revenue generators,<br />

and volunteers are necessary to<br />

ensure that TCOR will receive this<br />

vital revenue in the future.<br />

I find volunteering with TCOR<br />

to be a truly rewarding experience.<br />

Volunteers are able to expand their<br />

skill set and forge great friendships.<br />

The future of the TCOR organization<br />

will continue to hinge on the strength<br />

of its volunteers, and I highly recommend<br />

and challenge you to look into<br />

volunteering in the future and push<br />

yourself out of your comfort zone.<br />

Who knows...you may discover a hid<strong>de</strong>n<br />

talent, and make a difference to<br />

the future of TCOR and the CHS. I<br />

hope to see you at a Bingo session<br />

or on the board in the near future. <br />

committed people can change the<br />

world. In<strong>de</strong>ed, it is the only thing that<br />

ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead<br />
