 My name is Marnie, I am with Mt Martha and I'm the Lieutenant 4. My role as the Lieutenant would be to be a team leader, so getting those involved encouraged them to do the best that they can. From the very day that I walked into Mt Martha, the Brigade was very welcoming and supportive. My son was very young at that age and they just assured me that yeah, having a young family wouldn't be a barrier to my membership and progression. And clearly look at me now because it isn't. I was very hesitant at the first, so it was great to see that a lot of members pushed me to be the Lieutenant. They actually came and seeked me to ask if I wanted to do it. I love being a volunteer because it gets me out into the community. I get to help educate those around me and help out where it's needed. Just do it. If you've got any hesitations just go down to your Brigade, check it out, ask them questions and just get involved.
