COORDINATOR'S REPORT -- October 1983
The total number of information and referral calls for the month of September
was 82. The total number of calls this year-to-date is 879, compared to 771 I
at this same time last year. This reflects an increase of 14% in the number
of calls received by Community Service this year.
I
Youth Employment Service remains active with a total of 29 job requests re-
ceived during September. Efforts to have youth sign up for Y.E.S. are
being made through the various counseling office at local junior high and
high schools. Special attention is being given to the area West of route
53 as we have not had many register from that area.
The new Jaycee's phonebook has come out. The number for Community Service
can be found on the front cover with important phone numbers. Our number
replaces the Chicago-based Community Referral Service number as it was felt
to be more appropriate.
Amy Czarnecki, Public Service Practicum Student, will be working with Community
Service in addressing senior citizen's needs. She will serve as a friendly
visitor to seniors under the guidance of both the Community Service office
and the Senior Counseling Program of the mental health center.
Speakers for the latch-key children's program entitled, "Children After
School" will be Lorraine LaSusa from Talkline and KIDSLINE, Sharon Anderson
from Elk Grove Park District and Lois Peterson, Social Worker with District
#59. Both a parent's program and a children's program will be presented at
the same time. The program, co-sponsored by the library and Community Service
is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Monday, October 24, 1983.
The annual meeting of the Elk Grove Salvation Army Unit was held this month
to introduce the new field representative, Maribeth Velazquez. A presentation
on the services offered through Salvation Army was given. We were told
spending in the Northwest suburbs is down from spending during previous _years.
It is felt that communities have rallied to provide food pantries and other
programs to respond to these demands, decreasing the demand for Salvation
Army funds. In the absence of a Schaumburg Service Unit, Elk Grove will
be responding to calls from Schaumburg until a new service unit is established.
As Program Chairman for N.S.C.C.S. I have planned November 10th's meeting
on "Church and Clergical Action in the Northwest Suburbs". Representatives
from Elk Grove Ministerial Council, Mt. Prospect Church Council and Catholic
Charities will speak on how the various churches work to address local needs.
$500 worth of food certificates was received from the Lion's Club. These
i certificates will be distributed through Community Service to assist Village
families encountering emergency food needs.
