VOLUNTEERS:
Do you have a passion for math, or have a job that uses math? We are always looking for more parents to volunteer as a guest speaker or a teacher. We also would like more secondary school tutors (obtain some volunteer hours!). Come for just one meeting, or commit yourself for a longer time.
