VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
Blaine Primary School needs some volunteers. Several years ago, a group of our members were active in helping out in the primary school. Seven years later, Daphne Johnson is still contributing her time to help the 1st graders in Terre Shapiro’s classroom. We are trying to get a group of ladies to contribute their time starting in the fall. Several of the classrooms could use your help.
The time commitment would be: a few hours on a weekly basis (e.g.Monday mornings from 9-11 or Thursday afternoons from 12-3 or something like that.) The teachers understand that vacations and family obligations come up but if it were a fairly typical schedule, that would be great. The volunteer would probably be doing some type of reading game with a small group of children or
even just spending time reading with one student at a time, for added practice. (This is what Mrs .Shapiro envisions but of course once we find out if people are interested, we could tailor their volunteering to preferences that they have. Also, we could find out more specifically what individual teachers would want...these are just a few ideas at this point.) Please contact Donna Charbonneau or Terre Shapiro tshapiro@blainesd.org for information or to volunteer.

The APA (Alaska Packers Association) Museum at Semiahmoo Park is in need of volunteer docents for the summer season.  The requirements are an outgoing personality and interest in local history.  Training will be provided. 

Call Nancy Hobberlin @ 392-7795.
