City is looking for more volunteers

Volunteer Saratoga is looking for help. Minutes-keepers, day and nature camp assistants and a Kinder Club assistant are all needed to help with city programs.

Several individuals are requested to volunteer to take minutes at city commission meetings. The position requires attendance at one evening meeting monthly, and excellent written communication and word-processing skills are needed.

Volunteers at day and nature camps are needed for at least two weeks for morning or afternoon shifts from mid-June to mid-August, Mondays through Fridays. The volunteers will assist the staff in programs ranging from games and theme-related activities to singing, creative dramatics and storytelling. Training is available, but volunteer spots are limited.

Kinder Club volunteers will help the instructor set up activities for preschool-age children Monday or Wednesday mornings.

Residents interested in any of these positions can call Lori Burns at 868-1252.
