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 />
