Our April LPF meeting

LeoandJudy — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 17:23:31 -0400

Our April LPF meeting is next Thursday, April 24th. We will meet at 6:30 at Neomonde's for dinner and our meeting. We are going to look at the message on immigration that the ELCA approved in 1998. Please go to the ELCA website to find the message. It is under the section on Social Statements. We also will look at the article in the March Lutheran "Addressing Undocumented Immigration." We should have an interesting discussion. Please join us.

December meeting

wlcorneliu2 — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 06:09:07 -0500

I just tried to add the December meeting to our calendar. Got sidetracked somehow and I believe it is on the general community calendar (Religion) but not on our group calendar.

It takes me too long to go through this process. The meeting is Thursday, Dec. 20 at Neomonde Deli. Bring a copy of the <a href="http://www.elca.org/socialstatements/violence/">ELCA Message on Community Violence</a>

Starting your own group

VolunteerCaregiving — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 11:35:16 -0400

we started out as an outreach effort of a cluster of local churches. most of our peers are faith-based, or aligned with a County Office on Aging. places to start for researching:

your local Area Agency on Aging

You would be operating in rural area, so the operations listed below might be closer to what you have in mind. i think everyone just starts out identifying the need, figuring out what volunteers are willing to do, and then doing the match between Need and Offered Service.

everyone makes up their own forms, but at minimum you need a procedure for perfoming BACKGROUND CHECK on volunteers if they are going into someone's home, LIABILITY INSURANCE in case a Care Receiver injures a volunteer, a volunteer does harm to a Care Receiver, or the volunteer has a mishap while on a volunteer assignment. signing up people with needs is easy. hard part is recruiting and retaining volunteers - this is a nonstop, perpetual process.

These are some rural organizations:

Setting up a NHN group on Long Island, NY

Yes thank you.

Can you send me information on setting up a Neighbor Helping Neighbor group where I live on Long Island, NY. While most think that Long Islanders are rich, that is not true for many of us. I am retired and would like to set up a similar organization as yours.

Can you help?
