Several northern Dakota County volunteer organizations will take part in a volunteer speed matching event from 2 to 8 p.m. Sept. 19 at Dakota Area Resources and Transportation for Seniors (DARTS). The event, which draws heavily on speed dating, will see volunteers move from table to table in a bid to find their perfect match. If you have been thinking about volunteering, but aren't sure with which organization, then volunteer speed matching may be a way to get started. Organizations taking part will include those that help people who are young and not so young; people with physical and learning disabilities; people who are homeless, victims of crime or experiencing mental distress; and people in hospitals and hospices. Also participating are organizations that deal with environmental issues. DARTS is at 1645 Marthaler Lane. Space is limited, so register early by speedmatching@hotmail.com .
