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.

more, people compete for the
same jobs.
The Career Development
and Job Placement Center
would like to help CCC
students overcome any confu-
sion about finding a job or fin
ding out what a certain job is all
about.
“Even though jobs are
low, we want the students to
know that we’re here to help
them,” Kate Ellis, placement
specialist said .
“Last year we sent out 528
job referrals. This year, during
the same period of time, we
sent out 880 job referrals,” Ellis
said. “More students are look

year. Last year,” she explain
