36 students signed up today at the 2007 Galway University Volunteer Fair to serve as unpaid voluntary supervisors for the Eglinton Computer Room!
"These 3 ladies did a fantastic sales job at at the Fair convincing attendees of the importance that they could play in improving the lives of residents by agreeing to volunteer for the job. 36 was one of the highest responses received at any of the Exhibit's stands. Well done Girls!""I am calling a meeting late next week in the university of all volunteers that signed up. I am keeping my fingers crossed though that most of the names on the list will turn up for this induction service on the duties associated with supervising the computer room. If they do we will be able to keep the Computer/Internet Room open 4 to 5 days per week from mid-October, which will be a colossal bonus to the Eglinton Residents!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lorraine Tansey and the CKI team (Ruth, Ian, Mary & Maria), for the brilliant job they do every year in organising the annual Student University Volunteer Fair. They have tapped into a rich vein of goodwill and humanity that exists amongst the young people of Galway University. Last year 800 students participated in volunteer programmes which benefited thousands of people whose lives would have been so much poorer without their assistance."
