Help Wanted. Challenging Work. No Pay.

You'd think that a request like this would fall upon deaf ears, but not at ASPEC. Members may volunteer their services to community organizations both on an individual basis and as groups representing ASPEC. Thousands of hours as well as materials and financial support are given by dedicated, compassionate ASPEC members.

Community involvement also includes sponsoring Forums to which the community is invited. The Young Artists Showcase allows budding musicians to exhibit their skills before a broad and diverse audience. Members volunteer for an ASPEC Speaker's Bureau which supplies presenters for various service organizations. Some members serve as unpaid consultants for county and city government.

Well over 100 community organizations benefit from the contributions made by ASPEC members, including:

• City of St. Petersburg, Florida Orchestra
• St. Petersburg Community Chorus
• St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts
• Goodwill Foundation
• Gulfport Historical Society
• Habitat for Humanity
• League of Women Voters
• March of Dimes
• Meals on Wheels
• Rotary Club
• United Nations Association
• Pinellas Public Library
• Science Center of Pinellas County
• All Children's Hospital
• Hospice of Florida
• Ronald McDonald House
