You can also add the service event to your Outlook Calendar directly by RSVPing on MyWPI. An important note: RSVPing is NOT the same as confirming your participation in the event -- you should still refer to the registration directions in the event listing to register to volunteer.

We are seeking Greeters, and Ushers for the Spring Brown Bag concerts. Brown Bag concerts often have early arrival of buses through our accessible entrance so we will start our shift 90 minutes prior to the concert. This is the season opener of the Spring Brown Bag concert series. This is a free concert that features Midori In Partnership with Joy of Music Program. Midori is a visionary artist, activist and educator who explores and builds connections between music and the human experience.
