Published September 27, 2005


Gulf Coast Community Care's Adopt-A-Grandchild program will have an open house 10 a.m.-noon Oct. 7 at the Largo Library, 120 Central Park Drive.

Anyone interested in learning more about the program is invited to attend. Light refreshments will be available and staff will provide a summary of the program activities. The program seeks to match adult mentors with children in need of additional adult attention. A commitment of two to four hours a week is requested of the volunteers.

Orientation, training and support is provided. For information, call (727) 538-7460 and speak to Beverly at ext. 3041.
