LAKEPORT, Calif. – “We need YOU” – that’s the theme for the entire month of September at the Lakeport Senior Activity Center.
“We have a wonderful group of volunteers here at our senior center,” said center Director Jonathan Crooks. “And, we need more to cover the 35 events, groups and fun we have here. We have other events we’d like to add, but need the additional volunteers to help with those.”
From art classes to welcoming, each event is planned by a team of volunteers, who meet one time each month to brainstorm and implement events.
This month, the bulletin boards in the reception area are filled with descriptions of these teams, including what day and times the event takes place. Also listed is how the volunteer can help.
“Our hope is that a person will scan the volunteer opportunities, find a day and time that fits their schedule and sign up to join the fun,” said Mary Veeninga, team leader. “So come in and take a look at our bulletin board. There are opportunities for folks with experience in retail, photography, computer, fund raising, promotions and much, much more.”
“Join the fun! Help us help others!” said Mary Beauchamp, promo team leader.
Bulletin boards are located at the Lakeport Senior Activity Center, 527 Konocti Ave., or call 707-263-4218 for more information.
