LCCA Want Ads for Volunteers
The LCCA is seeking qualified members to fill various openings required to support current club activity. The members sought are ones who are willing to spend the time and energy to provide meaningful effort to the club for the length of the project or term - usually one year. The candidate need not have any prior experience and the only education required is to know how to get the job done. These are volunteer assignments with no pay, potentially long hours and a requirement to see the job well done and completed in a timely manner.
Please look at the list of people needs and volunteer to the one which best meets your interests and skills. Director Sal Gambino heads the "Volunteer Committee" and has asked that interested members contact him by phone (215-708-1504) or by e-mail (
