Volunteer Levels
There are three different levels to volunteering with GRRoW. All contribute to the overall success of our rescue efforts.
GRRoW Family: This is the active volunteer level and includes voting privileges at the annual election for adults of that status. Family-level volunteers have access to the Volunteer Resource Center on GRRoW's website. Family-level volunteers also receive all GRRoW communications, invites, etc. via Yahoogroups once they join the group, as well as an e-mail link to the quarterly newsletter. Paid newsletter subscription available for delivery to your door.
Friend of GRRoW: This level primarily provides financial support and is maintained by a minimum annual contribution of $40. Perfect for Golden-lovers who are unable to be actively involved in GRRoW but want to be a part of GRRoW in caring for our Golden Retrievers! Friends of GRRoW do not have voting privileges. Friends of GRRoW receive the quarterly newsletter in the mail unless they choose to receive it via e-mail link. Friends of GRRoW also receive all GRRoW communications, invites, etc. via Yahoogroups once they join the group.
Neighbor of GRRoW: Neighbors of GRRoW volunteers include new adoptive homes and anyone who wishes to join GRRoW in this limited capacity. Neighbors of GRRoW do not have voting privileges. Neighbors of GRRoW receive an e-mail link to the quarterly newsletter and may also subscribe to receive the newsletter in the mail.
