Men and women interested in volunteer opportunities are invited to a recruitment event sponsored by the Zeta Rho chapter of the international service group Epsilon Sigma Alpha.

The gathering is set for 6 p.m. Oct. 3 in the fellowship hall of Ruston's Northside Church of Christ at 1804 Trenton St. with the theme "The Power of US – Unity and Service: Making Connections to Make a Difference."

Zeta Rho-ESA supports St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Christian Community Action, Easterseals, Hope for Heroes veterans' causes, and other local and national groups.

Jennifer Patterson, vice president and membership chair, said, "We welcome you to come make a connection, volunteer and find a way to make a difference in the world around you."

In addition to community service, the organization also offers educational and social activities.
