CHARLIE NEEDS VOLUNTEERS

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. 2 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 Jana Jateff at 651-4103.

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.
