Senior Citizens Can Attend School-Sponsored Events Free

Kershaw County citizens age 65 years or older can receive Golden Circle passes that allow them to attend school-sponsored activities or athletic events free of charge. Admission to athletic playoffs is not included.

“This is a great way to allow grandparents to attend their grandchildren’s activities without worrying about the cost,” said Kershaw County School District Superintendent Frank Morgan. “We want these persons to feel welcome at our schools so it is truly a win-win situation.”

Golden Circle passes are available at all three high schools—Camden High, Lugoff-Elgin High and North Central High. Interested persons should contact the main office at each school for more information. (Camden High: 425-8930; Lugoff-Elgin High: 438-3481 and North Central High: 432-9858).

Family Resource Center needs volunteers

The Family Resource Center needs more caring and committed volunteers to assist in victim services and office operations. The Center serves abused and neglected children as well as adult survivors of childhood abuse and sexual violence in Kershaw and Lee Counties.

Office volunteers are needed to answer the phones and do light office work on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Hours are flexible.

Volunteers for victim services will be trained to support the 24-hour hotline and respond to victims at the hospital. The Center provides 25 hours of free training prior to volunteers going “on-call.” This is an excellent opportunity for individuals considering education or work in the field of counseling, social work, and law enforcement.

All volunteers must be interviewed by the Volunteer Coordinator, pass a SLED background check, and be at least 18 years old. Volunteers for victim services must also have a valid driver’s license and be able to drive at night.

Junior Diabetes

Here's a simple way for Anyone to help out the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation in our area, justsave your old ink printer cartridges, toner cartridges and cell phones and take them to Image Printing in Camden. They'll be picked up and turned in to a recycling center in Columbia and the money will be donated to the Palmetto Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. It's a great way to help out kids who really need the assistance and you're helping the environment at the same time. So remember, take those old cell phones, toner cartridges and ink jet printer cartridges to Image Printing, Mill Street in Camden and make a difference in the life of a child with diabetes.
