COA Needs You! City of Angels NJ, Inc. is a non-profit corporation that runs entirely on volunteers. All COA Board members, Directors and helpers volunteer their time to a cause they believe in....do you have a few extra hours you could spare?    At 6:30 pm on the 4th Thursday of every month at the Dwier Center (392 Church Street, Groveville, NJ), COA holds volunteer meetings to discuss volunteer opportunities and match people with those opportunities. Volunteers are particularly needed to help with Rockfest in June 2013 and a major new event in September. This informal get-together is also a great way to meet new people, learn more about COA and enjoy a pleasant pizza dinner with friends.  The next volunteer meeting will be held on Thursday, January 24, 2013. Pizza will be provided by Family Nest Italian Restaurant.
