Hey, folks! We will be having our weekly VolunTEENS meeting from 5:45-7:45 at the Albion District Library in their Naomi Lane Room on May 5th (Wednesday).
One of our mentors is leaving town for the summer, so come by to see her before she heads home from college! We will be having a little more than cookies for snacks this time- how does pizza sound? Let's celebrate what Kye has done for us in getting the VolunTEENS program back on its feet!
We will also be continuing to get things ready for our canned food drive- we'll get updates on the most needed donations, we'll work on our publicity, and we'll get things ready to go! There are also two local volunteer activities to sign up for and updates to be had for AmeriCorps week.
Come on by to join the fun! If you're not a member of the VolunTEENS yet, grab an application at the meeting!

Local Volunteering Opportunities
There are two local volunteer opportunities coming up in the Albion community over the next few weeks that are very suitable to group involvement.
Firstly is the May 8th placement of flags on the graves of veterans at Riverside Cemetery. That begins at 8am and there will be coffee and donuts for volunteers before we begin. If you have any questions about this event, contact Dick Porter at 629-2774.
The second upcoming opportunity is the Citizens to Beautify Albion flower planting on May 15th starting at 9am. Volunteers pick up flowers from 933 W. Erie St. There is a free picnic for volunteers at Victory Park at noon following the planting. For more information about this opportunity, or to volunteer, contact Cris Solis at 629-5316 or Janice Best at 629-4934.
Members of the VolunTEENS are being encouraged to participate in one or both of these local opportunities.
Making Progress
Though we had low attendance at our previous VolunTEENS meeting, we did get a few things worked out for our Food Drive. The youth began working out what needed to be on our publicity fliers and they revisited the list that they had first made of places to try to post their fliers. We also brainstormed what things we would need on the day-of at our table. All in all, we got some very important things taken care of.
