Portage Community Revitalization Corporation's looking for some new volunteer boards members, and you just might be one of them. Executive director Valerie Garlick:

Valerie Garlick"Each year we have our annual meeting that's coming up in June. And part of the process before the annual meeting is recruiting individuals to join the PCRC Board. Each year we have a bit of a turnover in board members. So, we're in the process right now of putting it out there into the community to see if anybody might be interested in joining the PCRC Board of Directors."

Garlick outlines what's involved in the role.

"Our board members are the individuals who really provide the direction for the organization. They meet monthly. And additionally, board members also sit on one of the PCRC committees. So, they may be part of the Home Beautification committee, a fund raising committee, or the policy committee, for example."

She notes it's about giving back.

"And really the opportunity to that comes with it is that you're involved with an organization that is really all about our community. And it's an opportunity to make a difference in Portage la Prairie."

If you're interested, they'd like to hear from you soon.

"Sooner rather than later, given that our annual meeting's coming up in June, and we're going to kind of want a sense of who's interested. So, if people could get hold of us in the next week or two, that would be really helpful."
