Summer Camp volunteers needed
High school students, parents, grandparents, and people who just love kids, we need you! Volunteers are needed
on Thursday mornings to share an interest or activity cooking, building bird houses, or making things of all kinds.
Join us at Grand Ronde Elementary School with kids from first through fourth grades this summer at Coyote Camp.
Volunteers arc also needed to commit to work with a group of 10 kids each, on Thursday mornings for 8 weeks this
summer. Coyote Camp will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 1 1 a.m. from June 1 7 through August
7. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the kids in our community and to provide a much needed community service.
To volunteer your time, please call Betty Sledge at the school at 879-5210.
Scouting program looking for leaders
Adult volunteers are needed to help establish new units of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America in the Grand
Ronde area. Children today are faced at younger ages with life changing decisions. Crowded classrooms, cut backs
in special school programs, and single or two working parent families can all make it difficult for kids to establish
their own healthy identity.
The purpose of both the Boy and Girl Scouts is to instill good values in our young people. The programs afford
experiences that help build character and self-esteem while preparing our youth to make ethical choices throughout
their life in achieving their full potential. We can't do it without you, so please call and give kids a chance to be part
of a really great gang, the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts of America. Interested parents and adults may volunteer by
calling John Mcrcier at 879-2400 or Nancy Holmes at 879-2401.
Share your lunch hour with a child
Lunch Buddies is a program linking community volunteers with elementary school children in need of a positive
adult friendship. Volunteers will be asked to spend just one lunch hour a week with a child at the Grand Ronde
Elementary School. The time will be spent eating, talking, perhaps reading or shooting baskets, but most importantly
listening to and taking an interest in that one special individual child.
With a low investment of time, this program has already proven high impact results in Grand Ronde. Volunteers
are always needed for the existing Grand Ronde program, and possibly in Willamina as well. For more information,
please call Nancy Holmes at 879-240 1 .
