RSVP program recruiting new tutors

Just got this press release:

The Retired & Sr. Volunteer Program (RSVP) is recruiting tutors for Bristol Public School children. Persons 55 and older, retired or working who enjoy being with children are encouraged to come to a one hour tutor training. The next training is Tuesday October 23, 2007 at Hubbell School.

They will learn that tutoring need not be a big time commitment but can positively impact an underachieving student. Typically tutors meet for one hour with the student one to two times per week. This training is co-sponsored by Bristol Public Schools.

Register for tutor training by calling Pat Malone at 860-584-9533, Monday-Friday 8:30-4:30 pm.
