Library Volunteers and Packing Materials NEEDED!
|
|
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS To Help Move The CJ Library ! ! !
Parents & Students,
As you all know CJ is moving to a new location next year and
everything needs to be transferred to the new building. One of the first
priorities is the Library. We need volunteers (adults as well as children
are welcome) to help pack up the books that are not being used for the
rest of the year. Packing in general is easy, but the books have to be
packed in such a way that when they get to their new home, they can be
shelved easily and in their proper place.
We are having two short
training sessions:
April 28, 8:30 a.m. and April 30th, 2 p.m.
CJMS Library
Volunteers need to attend ONLY ONE session and can then come in
to box at their convenience to pack as many boxes as they can. We would
like to keep an account of who will be at each training. If you can come to
either call or email Brenda or Don Lucia.
Thanks for any help you can give!
Packing Materials Needed ! ! !
If you have access to packing peanuts, bubble wrap, or just plain old newspaper we can use it
for some of the fragile artwork. Drop off at the library or school office. CONTACT INFO:

Host Families Needed
|
HOST FAMILIES NEEDED
Learn about another culture first-hand this summer when your family hosts a Japanese delegate for one month. This in-depth 4-H exchange is unique because foreign delegates are matched with families who have children within two years of age as the delegate they host. Lifelong friendships are formed and the opportunity for
reciprocal exchanges exists. Families do not have to be in 4-H to host. As one host sibling puts it,
“When Yutaro arrived, I thought it was going to be a pretty fun summer. Boy was I ever wrong. I had the best time of my life! I don’t know how I would have managed to pass the time this summer if we hadn’t hosted Yutaro. It was the best choice we ever
made.” Hosting a foreign delegate can….and will….change your life.
