Volunteer Bus Drivers Needed for the Home - Drivers are needed to transport residents to doctor appointments and various activity outings.  They are hoping to find several individuals to participate so the need will only be once or twice per month for each volunteer.    You are required to have a J05 license, but it is very easy to obtain.  If you think this would be a way you could help our Home or would like more information, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Sis. Patsy Kaeb.
