9.The 3C Society is an all-volunteer group that needs a lot of help as this project continues to grow. Volunteers have helped in areas such as grant writing, data management, recruiting fellow volunteers and designing the society’s website, but all kinds of help is still needed. Do you have talents other than genealogical research that you might be willing to offer the project as a volunteer? If so, awesome! Please describe your suggestions below.
