Office Support Person Needed
Here are two ways to help FRNNG in the office! We need help with weekly preparation of mailings (need skill or ability to learn to use FileMaker Pro 3.1, print labels and prepare mailing); and with preparing and mailing out Close to Home newsletter subscription "thank yous" (need skill or ability to learn MS Word 98 and FileMaker Pro 3.1).

Tutor a Child!
Volunteers are needed who are willing to commit two hours per week tutoring one or more elementary-school children in reading, math or both. We have both daytime and evening sites available in the neighborhood. We also need a project volunteer to help keep records current on active volunteer tutors and do some phone calling to recruit new volunteers.

More Block Leaders Needed
FRNNG, working in collaboration with CCP/SAFE, has over 64 percent of the blocks in the neighborhood organized into block clubs who meet at least once a year. If your block isn't organized and you want to help get it organized, please call.

Communications
Close to Home newsletter
?• Layout editors (familiar with QuarkXPress) and copy editors are needed so we can spread the work of publishing the newsletter over more volunteers.
?• We also need block leaders or other volunteers willing to sell newsletter subscriptions door-to-door on their blocks. It's EASY and it's another way to meet your neighbors while helping sustain your neighborhood newsletter.
?• We need someone to help us sell or promote renewal of local business Close to Home newsletter sponsorships.

Computer I.T. Specialist
From time to time the FRNNG Staff needs help with computer or internet problems. A volunteer who could be called at those times could really reduce the stress. (Mac OS)
