The following are some of the volunteer opportunities currently open in Freeborn County. If you can help with any of them or would like to volunteer for other things, call Pat Stumme, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program director, at Senior Resources, 377-7433.

Volunteer Driver: You can help seniors maintain their independence when they are no longer able to drive to their appointments. Ride Services of Freeborn County needs additional drivers — one or more days a week. Drivers are reimbursed for mileage and receive trainings; call Senior Resources at 377-7433 for additional information and to volunteer.

Volunteers: It’s time to be bold: With the changing economic environment, who is volunteering? These answers will be identified from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on March 29 at the Albert Lea Senior Center. Workshop space for A Time to be Bold is limited, please register early by calling for Pat Stumme at Senior Resources, 507-377-7433.

Math Fair: The 13th annual Math Fair at Southwest Middle School is April 7. We need people from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. to judge the entries (advanced math skills are not required) and others to help average the scores. Call Marcie Maier at 507-402-9050 to lend a hand and a calculator; this is a fun event much like a science fair.

RSVP, sponsored by Senior Resources of Freeborn County, receives some funding through the United Way of Freeborn County, Minnesota Board on Aging and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
