Every item and hour helps, so thank you so very much! AS A 501(c)3 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, SNAP must maintain an active board of directors in addition to its current volunteer programming committee and volunteer office staff. Therefore, in addition to a need for volunteers to help with many ongoing tasks, SNAP is truly in need of a few arts supportive folks who are willing to roll up their sleeves and serve on a board of directors that will help guide SNAP into the future for our community and as an SCUCC arts ministry. Please call the SNAP office 480947-4770 to make an appointment with Lisa Sampson, Jill Marderness or Rob Marrlett to share your ideas and find out how you can best help SNAP grow to the next level.
