Volunteers Needed!!
| Event Volunteers are needed for the following upcoming events: |
 | 2008 New Year Event
Event Chair: Susan Semb
|
 | Please help us with our events!
For those families who are waiting, this is a wonderful way to meet other families who are in the waiting stage and who share your excitement!
Volunteers are typically needed to help plan the event, for "set-up" before the event and "take-down" and cleaning after the event, to help with the crafts for the children, and for any games or other activities.
Please email the FCCSD discussion group if you would like to volunteer for any of these events.
Any ideas and suggestions are appreciated! |
 | Newsletter and Website Contributors: Members are needed to contribute articles and other items of interest to our FCC-SD newsletter and/or website. Ideas for members' contributions include (but are not limited to):
- Personal stories of adoptive parenting, China adoption trip, bicultural family issues
- Chinese language, culture and customs
- Reports on local Chinese language schools
- Original artwork and poetry
- Compilations of tips, lists, and resources for adoptive and waiting families
Please contact Karen Radcliff for more information.
