Hope everyone enjoyed their snow days last week (I know I did!) :) We're adding prizes and commitments for prizes to our summer stash just about every day at this point--got over $300 in hair products from a local salon just a few hours ago! We've also got workers and volunteers putting together our registration packets. Speaking of volunteers--we're looking for a few good ones! If you've volunteered with us before, Erika should have already called you to see if you're coming back (and tell you about our orientation--which I'll get to in a minute!). If not, just give us a call--the number is 706-236-4625. If you've never volunteered and are interested (and are at least 13 years old), come to the Children's Department and ask for an application. We'll get back to you based on the times you can work and when we need workers--which leads me to to the aforementioned training......
So that all staff and volunteers are on the same page, we'll be doing a mandatory volunteer training for all volunteers this year, whether it's your first year working with us or your fifth. You'll choose one of five sessions to come to (it will only last about an hour). The dates are:
Monday, May 4th at 5
Tuesday, May 5th at 5
Wednesday, May 6th at 5
Thursday, May 7th at 3
Saturday, May 9th at 11
When you turn in your application, just let us know which one of these you plan to attend. If for some reason you can't make any of them, just let us know, and we'll work with you to get you trained before opening day :)
'Utterances' creative writing workshop is tonight from 6:30-8 in the Coosa Room. Future meetings will be:
Mar. 17
Mar. 31
Apr. 14
Apr. 28
Teen Advisory Board will be this Thursday at 5 PM in the Children's Department office. We'll be making plans for Teen Tech Week next week, so bring your ideas and a snack to share :) Just for future reference, our next two meetings will be April 2 and May 7, and we'll figure out whether we're going to meet over the summer and discuss fall meeting times (since several members are involved in activities that have late practices for a few months). We'll also discuss the possibility of activities in the coming months, so bring your ideas :)
