Local Venture Crews prospective member meeting

While their normal meetings are the first and third Thursday of each month at the Canterbury UMC, Venture Crew 2010 and two additional local crews are hosting an open house on Sept. 14 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Mountain Brook Community Church. Byrne said currently the crew has between 12 and 14 members and they recruit new members during the month of September.

The program is open to both girls and boys ages 13-20 and participants grow and learn more about themselves. “Personal growth comes from these adventures and helps our venturers identify and develop talents that serve them well,” Byrne said. Community service is also an integral part of venturing.

“It allows us to sustain our communities by identifying needs and targeting them,” he said. “Venturing’s commitment to community service allows our crews to develop a program full of opportunities to serve others — and to have fun while doing so.”
