Hey La Mesa! Let's Volunteer!

Helping our community is rewarding. We can help our neighbors and extend services where budgets aren't able to support.

At a recent city council meeting, council woman Ruth Sterling announced that volunteers were needed.  She mentioned quite a few, but here are some I remember:
