City Rec centers closing creates demand for volunteers at Central Community House

Olde Towne Neighbors:

In response to closing city recreation centers and rising needs in our communities, Central Community House is pleased to announce that it will EXPAND its programming to Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. beginning March 7. We CANNOT do this without volunteers to tutor, run programs, create fun activities and supplement staff in a variety of ways.

Can you play chess, run a cornhole tournament, teach basic computer skills (Word, email, etc.), set up a parent support coffee hour, play board games or tutor in elementary school subjects? Can you come on a Saturday for a couple hours, once a month or so? If so we need YOU!

We will have a volunteer orientation and Saturdays planning session this Saturday, Feb. 21 at 1:00 p.m. here at Central Community House, 1150 E. Main St. 43205. Please RSVP to Pam Argus (pargus@cchouse.org) or Liz Hughes-Weaver (lhweaver@cchouse.org) or call 614-252-3157 to sign up. (Please sign up ASAP so we know how many to expect!!).

Sorry for the late notice, but if you cannot attend the orientation but are still interested, please contact Pam Argus directly and she’ll get you on your way to volunteering at Central. Thank you!

Raconteur Theatre Company is pleased to invite you to the regional
premier of Isaac, I Am by Mary Steelsmith.

We spend a lot of our time in cyber space but how do we know what is
"real" and what is "safe?" How do we learn to trust anyone? Isaac, I
Am (winner of the 2006 Helford Prize) explores these timely questions
as Angela (Lorelei Moore) "meets" Ben (Derek McGrath), a funny guy
who's single and Isaac (Stephen Woosley), a grieving father.

Don't wait till you arrive – buy your tickets online now for $12! (or
$8 for students & seniors) http://raconteurtheatre.com/tickets.html
