Summer of Service set to begin
By SARA BALLARD
On Monday, June 22, President
Barack Obama will announce the
launch of the Summer of Service.
It's a national call to action; based
on his belief that volunteerism is
a part of the solution. Nationwide
or in your backyard, he's asking
us to do what we can. And we're
making it possible for you to get
involved in being part of the
solution
during the
Volunteer
Center's
Summer of
Service from
June 22 to
September
11.
Summer is
an important
time for vol-
unteerism:
students can
get extended
learning op-
portunities,
families can
get outside
for outdoor
community
work, and
summer vol-
unteerism is a
great way to
find new friends and new activities
in your community. And talk about
cost-friendly, most activities are
free and volunteering at local fairs
and festivals will often get you a
discount on food, tickets or entry
fees.
The best part is that
volunteering can help you see
first-hand the problems people
in Mason County are facing and
inspire you to take part in more
ways you can help. As President
Obama said, "We are the change
we have been waiting for."
So, here's how to get started
making a change during Summer
of Service:
Join us at our Summer of Service
Kick-Off Party from 4 to 7 p.m.
Wednesday, July 8, at Heritage
Park on Capitol Lake in Olympia.
Learn more about the Summer
of Service, meet people from
organizations that could use your
help, and learn how to compete
for prizes for best volunteer group,
best volunteer family and best
Summer of Service project.
You also can sign up for two
important Summer of Service days.
Each day will focus on a specific
issue and participants will be
working on theme-related projects
throughout the community. Each
day also will include options for
youth and family volunteering. All
you need to do is sign up for the
day, we'll tell you where and when
to report to work. The Summer of
Service days for 2009 are Saturday,
August 1, which will focus on
the environment, and Friday,
September 11, which will focus on
education.
If these activities don't fit your
busy summer schedule or don't
match our interests, we'll have
plenty of other ways for you to get
in the swim of service during our
Summer of Service. For instance,
you can join in on activities at the
United Way of Mason County's Day
of Caring on Tuesday, June 23. Find
out more about how you can help
by calling the United Way office at
426-4999 or visiting their Web site
at www.unitedwaymasonco.org.
And your Summer of Service can
include volunteering at events such
as Celebrate
Hoodsport
(July 3-5),
the Mason
County Fair
(July 24-
26), or the
Taste of
Hood Canal
(August 8).
We also will
have a list of
one-time or
continuing
opportunities
from various
organizations
in the region.
Look for
information
about all of
our Summer
of Service
activities at
the kick-off
party or on our Web site at www.
vol u nteer.ws.
All summer long we will be
interested in finding and promot-
ing more ways for people to get
involved. If you are the volunteer
coordinator or executive director
of an organization with summer
volunteer events already on your
schedule, we'd love to promote
them at the kick-off party, through
our Web site and through our me-
dia partners. Simply send a descrip-
tion of your event to Frieda Ray at
frieda@volunteer.ws.
Sara Ballard is the executive
director of the Volunteer Center
of Lewis, Mason and Thurston
Counties.
