Mashpee Council on Aging <br /> 26 Frank E. Hicks Drive <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> Volunteer Assistant <br /> July — August 2010 <br /> I can't believe summer is gone already. It has been a little more eventful for me <br /> at the Senior Center since I have been able to spend a little more than usual time <br /> here. <br /> New Volunteers <br /> Marion McNiece — Newsletter, Entertainment Committee <br /> Susan Wehner— Newsletter, Friendly Visitor <br /> Donna Wallace — Front Desk, Newsletter <br /> Barbara Bruch —Thrift Shop, Intergenerational <br /> Rose Mary Palizzolo — Newsletter, Friendly Visitor <br /> Margaret Moore — Driver <br /> Barbara Read — Newsletter, Office Projects <br /> Volunteer Manual <br /> We now have a revised and updated volunteer manual. I have had lots of help <br /> and good suggestions from our volunteers as we developed it. Special thanks to Joan <br /> Pennell for the quotes on each page and to Susan Clark for the cover. See handouts. <br /> Wheew! It was a long time coming. <br /> CapeCodVolunteers <br /> This is a new web site developed through the Cape Cod Community Foundation <br /> as a resource for people who are looking for volunteer work. Thanks to Maria Sullivan, <br /> we have a few volunteer positions listed there. —Thrift Shop, Friendly Visitor, Driver, <br /> Newsletter <br /> i <br /> So far we have had inquiries from three people. One person is already signed up <br /> as a driver; one person had an appointment on 8/26 but didn't come; and one person <br /> had an appointment today but couldn't come because of a death in the family. The one <br /> person who signed up is great, but I hope we don't spin our wheels too often on people <br /> who just don't show. <br /> Also, I understand that in developing a Volunteer Manual for their use, the <br /> Foundation used major portions of our manual. A nice vote of confidence for us. I <br /> Volunteer Training j <br /> We are planning to host a training this fall for volunteers on "Dealing with Difficult <br /> People." Lynne gave me a couple of suggestions of people she thought would do a <br /> really nice job. We are looking forward to having a workshop in October or November. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Judy Genge <br /> Volunteer Assistant <br /> j <br /> i <br /> 4 <br /> I <br />
