Last fall and earlier this spring, a group of AIRC members and employees at Wilson Albers Company, came together to clean up the Clare House garden/play area and spread mulch around the landscaping.  Thanks to all our marvelous volunteers!

 

Clare House has requested that volunteers come in once a week during the summer and help them maintain that same area.  AIRC and Wilson Albers are teaming up again this summer to do just that. 

 

An online sign up form has been created for those interested in volunteering this summer.  You will need to create a free account in order to view the sign up.  If you sign up, an automatic confirmation will be emailed with an attached document that will outline the procedures and tasks to be completed at Clare House.  

 

The volunteer times are on afternoons, mid-week (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday), with rotating days to help accommodate those who may not be able to make it on a certain day of the week.   The Wilson Albers employees have filled many of the weeks.  We need some Rotarians to jump in and help on some of the weeks that are still open.

 

Given Clare House's vulnerable resident population, each volunteer is asked to complete a background check.  That process begins by visiting https://www.cssalaska.org/get-involved/volunteer/current-opportunities/volunteer-application/.  It's super easy.  The background checks are taking longer than normal and as of right now.  Therefore, Clare House is closing the garden to residents when our volunteers are present.
