Meet Colleen O’Toole - MCAS Volunteer Coordinator

Meet Colleen, the new Volunteer Coordinator at MCAS, and Play a Get To Know You Game for Volunteers.

My name is Colleen and I am the new Volunteer Coordinator for MCAS. I hope this finds you all well rested, healthy, and safe at home. I know that this is a strange time and many of you are missing volunteering (and we’re missing you too) so I thought we could participate in a short get to know you game.
