Summary

Sustainable RP reported a critical shortage of members and said it is intensifying outreach — emailing online volunteers, pursuing Bergen Academies interns, and assigning a newsletter article to recruit new participants.

Sustainable RP opened its May 28 meeting by recording a short membership roster and flagging an urgent need for volunteers. Chair Veronica Leone noted members present and excused members; SRP identified a "critical shortage of members" and described outreach steps planned to increase participation.

The group confirmed multiple follow-up actions: organizers sent invitations to everyone who submitted the online volunteer interest form and will try Facebook outreach; SRP will explore Bergen Academies student interns to determine eligibility for an internship placement; Harry Menta was assigned to write an article about the need for members for the June newsletter. The minutes record multiple named online volunteer respondents (Samantha, Filiz Say, Isabela/Isabel Gonzalez).
