First Responders Day Volunteers
Janice Welsch
I am writing as a member of the Youth Task Force, a subcommittee of Macomb's Quality of Life Committee.
The Task Force is preparing for this year's First Responders Day and is contacting several organizations to ask if some of their members can help with this event. It's an event that is popular with students and enjoyable for volunteers.
The First Responders Day will be held in Chandler Park from 8:30 to 11:30 on Friday September 12. We will need 20 volunteers each hour between 8:00 and Noon. Ideally volunteers would be on hand for two-hour shifts, but we will welcome volunteers for one-hour shifts as well. Volunteers will primarily work at the first responder stations helping with marking passports, talking with students while they wait for their turn with the first responder, and directing groups to their next station. Volunteers will receive an orientation upon arrival for their shift on the event day.
We are preparing for about 750 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders from West Prairie North & South; Bushnell-Prairie City; Lincoln, Edison, and St. Paul schools. They will be visiting approximately ten first-responder stations (from police and fire departments to 911 Dispatch). Each will receive a "passport" that a volunteer at each responder station will mark to verify their visit. They will also have a chance to pick up a snack at the park. Their arrival times will be staggered throughout the morning.
GFWC members have participated in this project before and we are hoping they will do so again. Can you ask members if they can volunteer this year? Once you have volunteers, we would like you to send me their names, email addresses, and the times they will be available to help. I hope you can send this information to me by Thursday, August 29. Volunteers will receive an email confirmation and volunteer instructions will be emailed the week prior to the event. They should plan to arrive about ten minutes early to pick up a lanyard and their specific station information.
Thanks very much for helping with this. We appreciate your interest and support.
