NEED COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS?
Plans are underway for the 2013 Mayor's Holiday Festival scheduled for Saturday, December 7, 2013 at the Prime Osborn Convention Center. The City of Jacksonville has produced this event for more than 30 years with a great deal of community support.
This celebration allows THOUSANDS of senior citizens the opportunity to be among friends, savor a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings, and enjoy outstanding entertainment, a visit from Santa Claus and fabulous door prizes. Approximately 3,000 seniors will be attending this Holiday Festival. Some have little or no family in the area and will probably spend the holidays alone. They truly look forward to this event each year to spend time with others and celebrate the season.
To pull off an event of this magnitude, we need a large contingent of volunteers. This would be a great opportunity for students to earn community service hours. Volunteers will be needed for the following:
They will need assistance with set up, decorating, serving and cleaning up.
SHIFTS:
8AM - 1PM: set up & decorate - 100 volunteers needed
1PM - 6PM: serving and clean up - 250 volunteers needed
Please call Mary Ferrell at 630-2681 or email at mferrell@coj.net to schedule volunteers.

COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program is the United States' largest youth recognition program based exclusively on volunteer community service. The program was created in 1995 by Prudential in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) to honor middle level and high school students for outstanding service to others at the local, state, and national level.
The program's goals are to applaud young people who already are making a positive difference in their towns and neighborhoods, and to inspire others to think about how they might contribute to their communities. Over the past 18 years, more than 345,000 young Americans have participated in the program, and more than 100,000 of them have been officially recognized for their volunteer efforts.
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program is also conducted in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Ireland, India, and China, where Prudential has significant business operations.

If you would like additional information on volunteering, please contact Moira Minta, Thrift Shop coordinator, at mminta@communityhospice.com or call 904-998-1718.

joining the popular HISTORY® program, Take
a Veteran to School Day, to encourage schools to connect
Veterans with young people. Take
a Veteran to School Day events allow students to learn more
about Veterans Day while connecting with local Veterans, and gives Veterans an
opportunity to share stories of service. These events, organized on or in the
weeks leading up to November 11th's Veterans Day, can range from a simple
one-class visit to an all-school assembly. This is an excellent opportunity to
show Veterans how much we value their service, while bringing history to life
in the classroom.
