HELP WANTED DEPT:
· Would you like to help out Nightwatch, but don’t like the evening hours and would prefer more introverted activity? We need someone who is handy with typing to key information into a new database we’re building.
· Are you the type to likes to deal with “Big Picture” items—determining and overseeing vision, direction, and policy? We are looking for individuals who may be interested in serving on our Board of Directors. New terms (which last for three years) begin on July 1.
For more information on either of these opportunities, call the Nightwatch office at 503-220-0438, or email us.
