Canal Alliance Volunteer Opportunities
*Supply Healthy Snacks to our Students
Your group is invited to prepare healthy snacks (such as sandwiches, fruit, or cheese and crackers, and a healthy drink) for approximately 75 teens enrolled in our Youth Educational Development Program (YEDP). This project is offered from on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 2-4:30.
First, we invite you to come to Canal Alliance for a tour of our organization. Then, we thought it fun for YEDP staff to accompany you to a local market to obtain the items. We would greatly appreciate it if you could purchase
these items on our behalf. Generally a $75 donation would cover the cost of the snacks. We are happy to complete a donation receipt for your generosity. Afterwards we will return to Canal Alliance, prepare the snacks, and then distribute them to the students. Not only will you be providing a nutritious snack, you will be helping to reinforce our goal of fostering a wholesome and healthy environment for our teens. This is a wonderful opportunity for groups including student organizations and clubs, families and employee
teams. This project is perfect for 5-7 people.
*Food Bank Distribution
Every Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 10:00-12:30, we open our on site food bank to our community. After we return from the Marin Community Food Bank, you will help upload the van, sort the items -usually consisting of breads, grains, fruits, juices, vegetables, milk, and canned goods, stock our shelves, assemble different packages of food, and then help us distribute the food to the community members that come to our doors for such assistance. There is usually a flurry of activity in our waiting area during this time. We usually have very little left over. This would be a fun experience for your group, and an excellent way to witness how our organization has a direct impact on our community by providing a basic need. This project is recommended for 3-5 people.
*Youth Educational Development Program Aide: Spring 2009
This opportunity is offered M-TH afternoons here at Canal Alliance. We have 3 Middle School classes and 2 classes for High School. We also have college students who might need one on one help arranged on a case by case basis.
All of these would be great opportunities for college students who are currently studying education, or currently retired professionals from the educational field. We do also invite high school students, preferably ages 16 and over, to work with our middle school program. Volunteers should work well under limited supervision with both students and staff. Volunteers not only help our students with homework, but also with Canal Alliance sponsored projects. Additional responsibilities include preparing snacks and refreshments, supervising groups during outdoor and indoor activities, helping with clean-up. Volunteers should be available at least one full shift per week beginning January 12 through May 29, 2009. While being familiar with Spanish is helpful, it is not required. Volunteers ages 18+ will be required to undergo a background check which includes fingerprinting. Volunteers that are willing to transport students for field trips are required to provide a copy of his or her DL and insurance. Driving is not a required responsibility. Patience and flexibility are musts.

 BIKE to RAISE FUND for SAN MARIN HIGH
DADs - Time to Help!!! Join Pat Nims (the ONE :-( biker now - Thanks, Pat!!!)
Saturday, May 16, 2009 - Raise Funds for San Marin High
The Pan-Napa Challenge is a one-day bicycling event held annually to raise money for Novato schools.
The second annual Pan-Napa Challenge will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2009, in beautiful Napa valley.
Last year eighteen dads got together for a fun day of riding in Napa Valley and raised $28,000 for Hamilton Elementary School. This year we're expanding the challenge to include riders from all 16 Novato schools. Now it's your turn to raise money for your local Novato school. The ride is open to parents, teachers, students, and anyone else who wants to help out.
How The Challenge Works
Riders sign up to ride one of several routes. We'll have beautiful and fun routes of 10, 25, and 50 miles (or more!). The pace is as leisurely or aggressive as you make it. Last year half the riders rode 25 miles, and the other half rode 50.
Donations are collected through the sponsorship of riders. Visit the website to sponsor a rider from your school. Riders allocate their donations to the schools of their choice. All donations are tax deductible. Net proceeds from the event go to the Novato schools as allocated by the riders - YOU have a choice on which school to sponsor!
Volunteers: On the day of the event we all get together for a big party in Napa. While your riders are out cranking those pedals there will be food, games, socializing, and plenty of fun for the kids.
Visit the website to sign up, donate, or volunteer: www.pan-napachallenge.org |

 "A CENTURY OF GENTLE SEASONS, A HISTORY OF NOVATO" DVD SALES TO BENEFIT SCHOOL FUEL
Zan Media has recently released a one-hour DVD about Novato called "A Century of Gentle Seasons, A History of Novato." Owners Don and Chris Scioli (local San Marin residents) produced this one hour video as a "small tribute to a great city."
The business is named after the first initials of their three children, Zack, Alex and Niki -- who all attended Novato's public schools from kindergarten through high school. It's a fun, fast paced and entertaining peek into what makes Novato so unique, community centric and slightly eccentric. There's a lively section on our schools in the past and present, hosted by longtime resident and Novato educator Louise Koenig, and even a section that recalls the antics of Principal Lu Sutton, who always wore black dresses and could beat all the young boys at marbles! You might even see yourself walking the streets during one of the annual Novato events showcased in this video.
The DVD costs $20.00 of which $5.00 will be donated to School Fuel. Visit http://www.novatohistory.com OR call 897-8393 to learn more about the video or to order a copy. |
