Have
You Thought About Being A MTA Volunteer?
Why?
Most people volunteer because they are asked. The reasons behind
the yes are as varied as the people saying the yes. Some want to
be part of a specific organization because they believe in the
cause. Others want to give back to society. Many want to have
social contact with a specific group of people. A few need some
specific experience for a career or a job. Some like to use
their creative and leadership abilities to make a difference. Do
you see your reason here?
Benefits?
What does the volunteer receive for donating this precious
commodity, time? Many receive the sense of achievement, of doing
their best while measuring themselves against others, producing
excellence and taking calculated risks. Some have the feeling of
affiliation, of being accepted and liked, of enjoyable
relationships and interactions, of working together with a
concern for others and a desire to know fellow workers. Others
are looking for the power to impact and influence, to be
independent in their work, to attempt the impossible to achieve
status and privilege.
Who?
Many people volunteer, from the young who are in high school or
college looking for career insight or experience to the mature
or retired who wants to use skills away from the job.
Where?
MTA volunteers can serve in a wide variety of areas (juniors,
tournaments, special events, etc.), wherever activity is
occurring.
When?
Shifts can run from 2 - 4 hours during the day, after school, in
the evenings or on the weekends, depending upon your interests
and schedule.
What?
MTA can use help in the following areas:
Tournaments
Development and Promotion of Tennis
Recreation
Junior Team Tennis
On Boards and Committees
Tennis Expos and Fairs
How?
Just call 478-477-1957 or email us at maconten@bellsouth.net and
tell us about your interests and how you would like to
volunteer. |

Our Adult and Senior Leagues
are underway. Also, new this year is the Flex League, which is also
playing with about 60 participants. It's a good way for doubles
partnerships to get match play and for singles players to get more
matches. If you missed out this season, watch for the announcement of
the next season. |
