Thursday, July 12, 2007 (EST) - Join the volunteers at Beacon Hospice.

Make a positive contribution to someone in need while gaining some essential life skills? Join the volunteers at Beacon Hospice.



Come and learn about the hospice movement and examine ethical end-of-life issues. Come and discuss the process of dying and how to deal with loss. Come and reflect on your own sense of mortality, your own experience with death. Dare to build relationships and offer support to those facing terminal illness. And believe it or not, come and learn to make the most of each day; come and laugh together and work with other volunteers who are simply the best! We will train you in seven Thursday evening sessions beginning July 12th, 5:30-8:30 p.m., in our conveniently located South Portland office. Or if there is a group in your community that is interested in training, I’ll come to you.

Please contact Donna Teague, Volunteer Coordinator, Beacon Hospice, 207-772-0929 or email me at dteague@beaconhospice.com.  Thank you!
