We’ve compiled a number of ways for you to get involved at East Shore. These are open to all members and friends. They are listed under the Staff Leadership Team member who is the Coordinator/Liaison for that group. Where available and/or appropriate, we’ve also provided the direct contact person’s name and email address.
We hope you can find a place to plug in! If you have an interest or idea that is not represented here, please see the last section, “Affinity Groups”, for information on starting a new group.
