When it comes to volunteering at SOPAC, Nancy enjoys:

“Meeting new people from all walks of life. I also enjoy the live concerts and plays. No matter what type of genre you like, you will always enjoy the quality of entertainment provided by SOPAC.”


Robin Aronson
SOPAC volunteer since 2013

“I have been volunteering with several organizations beginning when I was in high school.  I get so much satisfaction out of contributing my time, talent, and skills to non-profit organizations. Volunteering is the perfect way to contribute in a meaningful way to our community. As they say, ‘it takes a village.’”

Ed Bobertz
SOPAC Volunteer since 2013

“Since I am retired, I have a considerable amount of free time and I like to spend that time on activities that I enjoy and where I feel I can give something back. Volunteering in general is something that everyone should consider since we all have unique talents and gifts that we can share universally. Specific to SOPAC, if you enjoy live shows, especially live music, this is a great way to bring your love of live events to our patrons.”
