Hi Patrick, I'm a just retired first grade teacher and have been a private tutor for quite a while. My specialty is teaching young children how to read and how to improve reading comprehension.
I 'm certified as both an elementary educator and as a reading specialist.
I'm a Lexington resident and mother of two.
I have available time slots for tutoring and would like to know how to go about getting the word out.
Please contact me at Eileen.w709@gmail.com
Thanks very mcuh, Eileen

Hi Patrick,

Hospice of the North Shore & Greater Boston now has a branch in Wellesley. We are looking for volunteers to visit with patients who are on hospice. Additionally, we have a pet therapy program and would love to find more people with certified therapy dogs to visit with patients.
Is this a listing that I can put on the Volunteers Needed page?
Please contact me Camilla Blackman, Volunteer Manager, at cblackman@hns.org.

Thanks for your help,

Camilla

Hi Patrick -

I'm a BC graduate, too. I just wanted to announce that I've self-published my first novel "Zack's Daughters" through Xlibris.com. It's a dark family saga about a man who loves his daughters inordinately and inappropriately. It's available on Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com, and Xlibris.com.
Thanks,
Jim Kreidler

Hi Patrick,

I would like to post an announcement in the calendar for a local Artisan Market and Benefit at Roots and Wings Healing Arts in Natick. There will be local artists and a silent auction to benefit a local family in need. Please let me know how to go about this. I can't seem to figure it out!

Thank you, Liza Curtis
