Benefits To Community Reaped In Great Measure

So the Sidney Recreation
Commission makes a plea to
interested volunteers in the
community to come forward to
assist in many ways. People who
wish to. volunteer but are
frightened that they do not’.
possess. sufficient. skills. should.
not be concerned. The philosophy .
of the program is that of activity
and participation; certainly
basic. skills are essential but
more important is an interest in.
kids and a willingness to share ©

_your knowledge and time.

The new program should not be
interpreted as an attempt to steal
participants from other activities
or leagues. What is intended by
the program is to establish a
broad base of activity in different
sports to the end of channelling
more and better qualified par-
ticipants into competitive and
specialized activities.

So why not get involved — it’ s
your community.
