Committees
Our unique community is one that believes in teamwork and volunteerism as was the vision of Frank Taylor.
Contribute to your community by volunteering. There are several ways to get involved, join a committee or volunteer to help MCA prepare for some of our fun filled events. It’s a great way to meet your neighbors and get into the party mode before the event starts!
See below for current volunteer openings, ways to get involved and committees.

ACTIVITIES & EVENTS
MCA is looking for volunteers for their various activities and events. If you enjoy the fun of preparing for a special event, decorating or maybe you just love the laughter and special moments that happen behind the scenes that are just as fun as the event itself, volunteer to help with our activities and events. It’s a great way to meet people in smaller groups before a special event, while getting a glimpse of what’s to come.
