To: All City Volunteers
From: City of Reedsport
Re: Dial a Ride
Contact: Deanna Schafer
Office line (541) 271-3603
I am writing this appealing to the City of Reedsport
Volunteers for help. The Dial a Ride program is in danger of being cut back
to just a few days a week due to the lack of volunteer drivers. In order for
the program to run seamlessly I need to have at least six volunteers.
Ideally 8-10 would work even better and then the shifts could be shorter.
Due to a rash of illnesses and other things, I am down to just two regular
drivers and two backup drivers.
Typically the program runs from 9:00am to 4:00pm but on most days 3:00pm is
the latest ride. These rides vary anywhere from doctors visits to a ride to
work and cover a 5 (approximately) mile radius. The program is primarily
focused for Senior and disabled patrons but public is welcome if there is
room. The van is a wheelchair accessible van and we do have one regular
wheelchair rider who goes from Aiden at LUH to Winchester Bay twice a week
to visit his wife at the Harmony House.

CDABA Seeks Donation of Art for its Halloween Dinner / Dance

be particularly fun-let your creative juices flow!
