Project CHARLIE (Chemical Abuse Resolution Lies in Education) is in need of volunteers for the fall school semester. Eligible adults will be able to donate 30 minutes once a week to teaching children about how special they are.
A training course will be held Sept. 5 at LaCroix United Methodist Church from 6-10 p.m. Volunteers are trained to teach from prepared lesson plans.
For more information about the program or the training, contact Kim Kelley at 334-4566.
Project CHARLIE is coordinated by the Excelsior Optimist Club of Cape Girardeau. The program is taught to second- and fourth-graders in Cape Girardeau and Jackson public elementary schools.
