Adoption program at family centre loses funding
Written by Shaina Luck

The adoption program at the Chebucto Family Centre (formerly the Single Parent Centre) has ended due to limited funding. From the centre's website, the adoption services are described like this: "Families are registered to attend training which is held regularly and may be attended on either week nights or on weekends. This training includes a number of modules with each module focusing on a theme pertinent to the adoption of children." But the centre says it will still be providing post-placement services to families.

4th annual Spryfield Book Bonanza a hit

Sorry this is a dated post, but I wasn't quick enough on the draw....the 4th annual Spryfield Book Bonanza took place at the Captain William Spry Centre on May 5, and it was a big success. At this event, anyone can donate books and they are available free for anyone to take. The event is gaining momentum and there were even some new books leftover this year. For more information about the books or how to get involved next year, I'd try contacting the library at 490-5818.

Interested in volunteering on a board and learning about community development? Check out the message below:

Chebucto Community Development Association (CCDA) currently has volunteer openings for several Board of Director positions. CCDA is a registered charity that works with the Spryfield Area and District to add value to the community by helping residents build their capacity to overcome challenging circumstances.

WHAT DOES A BOARD MEMBER DO?

A Board Member for CCDA volunteers to be part of a team of people who come together to work with, and advise the Executive Director and staff team on how to continue working toward building the capacity of the Spryfield Area and District (Armdale to the Pennents and around the Sambro Loop.)  This includes attending monthly evening meetings (7 to 9PM)  and possibly sitting on sub-committees such as the Program Committee, Fundraising Committee, Finance Committee, Marketing Committee etc. The position could require some occasional dates to help fundraise/organize a fundraising event for the charity, or to drop in to see one of the programs in action, or to help represent etc.  On average, a dedicated Board Member volunteers 8 to 10 hours per month.
