Giving Tree Looking for Bilingual Children’s Connection Team Volunteers
 
Giving Tree is urgently in need of volunteers for their bilingual Children’s Connection Team as they enter into the first phase of the 2012 season. In the next 3 months, the team will search for and introduce the program to new recipients, travel to interview potential principals/organizers in person, and consider recipients for inclusion on the 2012 Giving Tree list. This is probably the most important work of the season -- finding and selecting our children. We have time to do it well and spread out the work effort, but we need to build and train the team now.  For more information, contact Michelle at givingtree@communitycenter.cn.
