CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Helping seniors by joining the Konocti Senior Support Board, you’ll find you get more from your efforts than the folks you serve.

You’ll make new friends, plus, there’s holiday parties, volunteer appreciation events, gas incentives and more.

Presently there are  two openings on the Konocti Senior Support Inc. board to help oversee two outstanding programs: Senior Peer Counseling and the Friendly Visitor Program.

The board will review the applicants and select persons with a keen desire to help seniors. Some background in business or finance would be helpful but not necessary.

With the numerous cuts in government programs, the organization's programs are even more vital to the safety and well being of Lake County seniors.

Konocti Senior Support has the full support of the county as they oversee the group's use of grant money for seniors in need.

By attending the board of director’s meeting the second Tuesday of each month at 12:15 p.m., you will help make decisions and suggestions regarding the staffing, finances, marketing and oversight of operations.

Board members will get to know the staff and volunteers as well as the other board members and be allowed to attend any of the seminars that interest you.

Konocti Senior Support provides a gas incentive for travel time to and from meetings and provide lunch while the meeting is in session. They will have a retreat in June, a fun pizza fundraiser in February and numerous other projects that may interest you.

If you want to give back to the community simply by offering your talents two to three hours each month, consider Konocti Senior Support.
