1. CCVI holds library hours every other Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30 to 10:30 and 12:30-1:15. They are looking for volunteers to help the students check out books. If you can volunteer for a shift (you do not need to commit for every session), or are willing to put your name on the substitute list, please let me know.
2. The Friends of CCVI will be making tactile bags for the classrooms on September 27 from 9:30 – 11:30 at CCVI. These consist of a bag for each letter of the alphabet, which contain items starting with that letter. If you are willing to help assemble the bags, or purchase the items for a specific letter, please contact me.
3. Are you a member of a sewing group? The Friends have the squares for a tactile quilt which need to be sewn together. Please let me know if you can help out.

That’s right. Last year, our alumnae gave a total of 1,167 volunteer hours for our Foundation. How can you help?

There are two types of Foundation hours. Service hours involve “hands-on” help to those who are blind or visually-impaired. Examples include volunteering in the classroom or library at CCVI and outside the classroom by making needed items such as “touch and feel” books. Awareness hours entail learning about our Foundation, CCVI and Alphapointe, whether among our members or within the community. Board meetings and meetings involving solicitation of donations are included. Actual fundraising events are not included.

Please record your hours starting July 1, 2011 and ending June 30, 2012. Contact Debbie Link, dblink98@aol.com, to let her know how you will be volunteering this year. Debbie will email you monthly for your list of hours.1,167 Volunteer Hours!
