Older Americans
Month
It is a time to celebrate the con­
tributions of senior volunteers such
as the Foster Grandparents Program
and encourage others to follow their
lead.
Many of the 77 seniors in the Fos­
ter Grandparents program work one-
on-one to help children at risk in
schools. They volunteer their servic­
es at non-profit agencies in our com­
munity. Last Year the program pro­
vided over 59.(XX) hours of service
throughout Clark County.
“We have an educated, healthy,
active group of seniors. If their poten­
tial is tapped, there is no limit to what
they can do.” says Claudia Dalton,
Foster Grandparent Program coordi­
nator.
Seniors earn a tax-exem pt sti­
pend of $2.45. Seniors say their
self-esteem is increased and they
get a renew ed feeling of health
and vigor.
Dalton expects the program to
grow as studies show that over the
next century seniors will outnumber
children and youth. Seniors will spend
possibly a third of their lives in post­
retirement, freeing up significant
amounts of time for volunteer activ­
ities.

gram c o o rd in a to r. E m ployers

Free Long Distance
For Non-Profits

pany is searching for Oregon-based
non-profit organizations that can
benefit from donated long distance
and other telecommunications ser­
vices.

local offices in Portland, Eugene
and Vancouver. Washington, has
launched a new initiative in Oregon
and Southwest Washington to do­
nate long distance, 800, voice mail
and other services to community-
based non-profits.
"We believe it’s more beneficial
to our customers anil our communi­

vertising,” said Peter Fyhrie, re­
gional director for Frontier Com ­
munications of Oregon. Fyhrie said
donations arc made through Fron­
tier’s Community Giving Program,
which already serves hundreds of
non-profits primarily in the North­
