Graduation Celebration needs some help with some of their
committees including transportation, fundraising, volunteers and
prizes. ALL freshman, sophomore, and junior parents should be

Your child benefits from this party, and you need to help before
your student is a senior! Call Dalene at 542-9500 or 486-5792.
The Healdsburg Hospital Volunteers needs some more members. Men
and women are invited to come by and talk to the volunteers at the
gift shop to get an idea of what all they do, and then fill out an
application.
