Í ccc tudents aid iladstone group I_ _ _ By Joy Williams Staff Writer The Gladstone Social Interaction Group provides mentally or physically handicapped persons with a place to play basketball or volleyball, work on arts and crafts or just sit around and talk - and many Clackamas Community College students are helping to organize the interaction. The group is partially sponsored through the Gladstone Community School, according to Elaine Furumoto, a volunteer worker. Some of the people involved are shut- ins or live in nursing homes and if it were not for this group there would be little or no opportunity for them to get together to have fun and socialize. Besides their regular ly scheduled meetings, the group has dances and goes on field trips. "We are planning a camping trip or a beach trip and are hoping to go see the Trailblazers," said Furumoto. The Social Interaction Group has been meeting every Wednesday for the past two years and has relied entirely on volunteer help. Charlie McDonald is in charge of the group and Furumoto, Jeff Tillett, Louise Bowser, Gary Devork, Earl Diment, Doug Williams and Gary Moore all volunteer their services. Diment, Williams and Moore are CCC students. They/are planning a garage sale and a car wash to help with expenses, but the biggest problem is transportation. The group needs drivers to take people to and from the meetings and to provide transportation for field trips. They have the use of two vans from Community Action and the Gladstone Community School, said Furumoto. The Social Interaction Group is made up of adults from 18 to 70. They all partici pate in the activities and enjoy each other's company. The group meets from 7 to 9 p.m. each Wednesday at Gladstone High School, 1505 Portland Ave., Gladstone. If anyone would like more information or to volunteer their services, call 655-2544 and ask for Kit Youngren. tudents offered practical teaching experience iterested in arts, physical education, working with children?

"This will be an excellent practical ex perience if you enjoy working with kids," Baty said. "It looks good on a job resume and it can be very rewarding." Baty said the idea began with the Staf ford principal's concern about children of working parents going home unsupervised. She described it as "a totally new concept" at West Linn, and said she was hoping for a lot of support from the college. "For the kids, it's a positive thing. We hope to have them develop more positive attitudes toward the school. They get a chance to experience making their own choices and trying a new activity."
