A Call to Action!

Feb. 17 Opinion no comments

Happy Valentine’s Day or how about happy Heart to Heart month helping families secure needed music. The wonderful folks in Coma’s own Save the World band need your help in their preparation for next season (full disclosure: I’m a member!). We need muscles to help us reorganize the warehouse where we store instruments, costumes, stage props, wind and smoke machines, as well hold an occasional practice.

Volunteers are needed every Saturday in February from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Duties include taking items off shelves, moving shelves to new locations and searching for rodent infestations.
Volunteers should be able to lift up to 25 pounds and not be over-awed by proximity to our town’s leading entertainers (and politicians).
Groups are welcome–but no one from A Home for Those Guys, please!

Here are some other volunteer opportunities:

* Tiny House for Humanity needs volunteers to make both minor and critical repairs for families so they can continue to live with dignity in our 120 sq. ft.-homes. Please visit their website at www.tinypaupers.org for all the info and to sign up for a specific project.

* AARP Coma needs volunteers to lead workshops to help individuals fully enjoy life after 50. Old age is no reason for these valuable members of our community to stop marrying people 25 years younger and starting new families. You can learn more at aarp.org/needamericanhusbands. They also need volunteers for their Stop Giving Your Social Security Number to Every Stranger Who Calls program.

* Fancy Cats Rescue Team needs volunteers age 19 and up to work at adoption events throughout Coma.
Come help give these abandoned long hair kitties the titles and resplendent nom de plums that they so richly deserve. Email info@fancycats.org.
