Volunteerism Exemplified

Volunteer! You, too, can Participate. Resident volunteers have created the new and modern, RiderwoodLife.com. It is sponsored by the Riderwood Computer Club.  Join nearly twenty volunteers maintaining RiderwoodLife.com . We seek folk with experience in writing or with basic computer skills. If you can write documents using a word processor, you can help with content on RiderwoodLife.com using tools built into WordPress.

RiderwoodLife.com is a good place for groups and clubs to publicize their activities and provide links to resources for the group. Computer Club volunteers are available to assist those who need help creating and maintaining a page from content provided by resident groups.
