Community Center Volunteers

Adams Park Community Center (APCC) will have a volunteer
open house on Tuesday, January 15, from 5 pm to 8 pm. APCC
volunteer coordinator Jayne Nucete recommends participation
because sharing your time can make a difference.
The APPC is
building programs daily, and the open house is an opportunity
to see the difference volunteers can make by sharing their time.
With the APCC programs, volunteers will find "a way to become
involved and make 2002 a year of positive growth for themselves
and their community," Jayne said. Start this year out right
by resolving to do something wonderful, she added.
APPC is at 4317 Vista Avenue (right next to Adams School).
