Tuesday is Senior Citizens Day, and Wednesday/Thursday/Friday are School days. At least one volunteer will be needed in the both during those daytime events. Two Fair passes are provided with the booth rental which will need to be handed off each day to the next team of volunteers.

Description
The Southwest Virginia Medical Reserve Corps is a cadre of volunteer health care professionals and community members trained to respond and assist with public health crises in the 13 counties and 3 cities in Cumberland Plateau, Lenowisco and Mount Rogers Health Districts.
The Southwest Virginia Medical Reserve Corps recruits for practicing, retired or otherwise employed medical professionals, as well as community members with non-medical skills. Physicians, pharmacists, nurses, epidemiologists and paramedics are just a sampling of the medical community that have been tapped for service. Clergy, translators, sign language interpreters, administrative assistants, volunteer coordinators and all other members of our communities are also encouraged to consider becoming a part of the unit. As of July 2018, there are over 750 approved volunteers.
