Wanted: Volunteers
Help spread a happiness.
Greenberg Brothers is looking for volunteers for the annual Children's Christmas Charity Party to be held on December 121.
Every year since Greenberg Brothers was founded in 1975, we have hosted a Christmas Charity Party for underprivileged children. These children are either resident in children's homes or are currently being monitored by social services due to an unstable home environment.
We need two basic kinds of volunteers:
1) people to collect money and gifts from local businesses
2) people who will be able to assist on the day (supervising games, preparing and serving snacks, and providing a happy, carefree environment)
In particular, we need volunteers for the party who are qualified to administer first aid. We are required by law to make this provision.
If you are interested in volunteering, please talk to your office manager or send an email to
GBXmasparty@greenberg.co, stating in which capacity you would like to offer your services.

Subject: Party Volunteers
Date: November 20th
I was very interested to read the notice posted in the staff room, and I'd like to offer my services as one of the Children's Party volunteers. I'd be happy to help out in both the planning and preparation stage, and at the party itself. I am a qualified first-aider with up-to-date certification.
The parties have a special meaning for me because, before joining Greenberg Brothers, I worked for social services for fifteen years. Every Christmas, the children I worked with used to look forward to the parties for weeks in advance. One of my acquaintances is a balloon sculptor. He has said that he is willing to come along and do a 20-minute balloon toy making session for the kids. He'll demonstrate a few shapes such as dog, rabbit-that kind of thing, and teach the kids so that they'll all have a balloon toy to take home. He has spoken to Balloons For All, and they will be donating 30o balloons.
I look forward to learning more details.
