[Community-service] Community-service Digest, Vol 62, Issue 10

Tue Apr 14 21:13:12 UTC 2015

I have a few questions.  I have found 1 that interests me.  It's
called the pretend city childrens museum.  they have volunteer
trainings on Saturdays  from 9 AM to 11 AM.   I could get there, but I
would be  fifteen minutes late, because my train would not arrive at
the Irvine station until 9:01 AM.  Also, they have a thursday evening
session, which although it will be a little bit stressful I am going
to try it.  I say that it will be a little bit stressful, because you
never know what you are going to get with parra transit,  they could
be late, have a bunch of drop offs, and pick ups before you get to
your destination.  Or you could get there early, as is how I ran into
my local chapter of the National Federation of the Blind.  I was
honestly going to the California Council of the Blind Inland Empire
Chapter meeting, and I arrived at Jannet Gowski at like 11:15 for a 12
PM, and it was at that time that I discovered that the National
Federation of the Blind, and the California Council of the blind
occupied the 10 AM to 2 PM block at Jannet Goski senior center in
Riverside.  Oh, and by the way, I still attend both.  Which is why I
am objecting to attend the May 9th training, because I have the
California Council Of The Blind Inland Empire  Chapter Meeting that
day from noon to 2 PM.  I do plan to attend both the  California
Council Of The Blind's Convention, and the National Federation Of The
Blind Of California's conventions.  And, I will have to take Orange
County Access from the place in Irvine back to the train station.  The
volunteer training ends at 6 PM, so I will need to set up a 6-6:30 PM
on Access.  However, my train back to west Corona leaves at 6:44, and
it is THE LAST TRAIN OF THE DAY.  So, if I miss that 1 I am so out of
luck.  What do you recommend I do?
