RSVP holds fundraiser The Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) had its first fund raiser of the year, last Thursday in the Fireside Lounge. RSVP held an open house, and a sale to earn money for the program. “I was pleased with the response,” commented Judy Smith, RSVP coordinator, “There was quite a turnout, but the buying power was a bit low,” she added. “This is the first time we have done anything like this, and it was a good experience. We learned a lot about what to do next RSVP is a program created to recruit and support volunteers over the age of 60 years to serve in non-profit organizations throughout the community, Smith explained. The program is funded by the federal grants and the College. The program also raises funds of its own. The main idea of RSVP is to supply the com munity with manpower. The money gained from the fund raisers will help to reimburse the volunteers for money they spend on transportation and meals. Judy Smith and Sue Ladd launched the RSVP fundraiser, with help from hairy friend.
