The following is a message from Hopewell Valley Senior Services for the week of June 22, 2017:

GrandPals Volunteers Needed!

Although Summer is just starting, the new school year is just around the corner!  We will start our second year of GrandPals.  We are looking for volunteers for this rewarding program.  Our volunteers will read to groups of students weekly at Bear Tavern Elementary School.  The volunteer will have the same group of students every week from October to May and your relationship with them will blossom.  You will watch them grow from the young Kindergartener to the confident student ready for 1st grade. Please contact Randi Knechel, (609) 537-0236 for more information or if you are interested in volunteering for the program.

 

Senior Picnic Volunteers Needed

It’s almost that time of year again for the Hopewell Valley Senior Picnic!  Once again we are looking for people to ask for and collect door prizes for the picnic.  Please contact Randi Knechel, (609) 537.0236 or [email protected], if you are interested in volunteering.  You will be asked to distribute flyers for the businesses and receipts after/at the time the item is picked up.  We have a list of past donors, however, new ideas are always welcome! Any door prizes that are collected may be dropped of at Hopewell Township Municipal Building to Randi in Senior Services located downstairs in the Health Department.
