Volunteering Reaching LII The challenge of serving the community faced us all at Kent Place. For the first time, a volun- teering campaign with the slogan, She who gives, gets was really publicized and promoted. At Christmas we were all asked to bring in gifts wrapped in shoe- boxes to put under the lobby tree and, later, to give to the homeless in our area. Also during the Christmas season, some socialized and played basketball with the mentally and physically handi- capped at Delbarton. Marcy Meenan organized and invited all to join in a successful blood drive in January. At the end of Febru- ary we donated our stuffed ani- mals to an orphanage in Bolivia. Throughout the year volunteer- ing projects included babysitting at Neighborhood House and tu- toring with the Elizabethport Tu- toring program. Other volunteer- ing opportunities such as helping at a KP open house or working in the library at school were also made available. As always, volunteering was spurred on by Mrs. Montgomery and her assisting coordinator, Liz Harrison. Thanks to their success, we expect that next year there will be more willing volunteers than there will be places to fill.
