The Clayton Community Library offers free tutoring and is seeking additional volunteer Tutors. This is an important community service because paid tutoring averages $90 per hour. The Library currently has a waiting list of students and need additional volunteers to fill the community need. If you enjoy children and can devote 1 - 2 hours per week, please consider this wonderful volunteer opportunity.

There are two tutoring opportunities available. The Group Tutor session is held on Wednesday afternoons from 1 - 4 with individual age groups scheduled in one hour segments. If you volunteer for one-on-one tutoring, you can pick your age group, preferred topic of study and the time.

The Library also needs volunteer Shelvers. Clayton was awarded such a fabulous library over other, larger cities because the community agreed that 2/5 of the work would be provided by volunteers. If you are new to the area, newly retired or simply have a love of books and community, the Clayton Community Library is a great place to donate your volunteer hours!

For questions about volunteer opportunities, please contact Arlene at akikkawa@ccclib.org or visit the library.

The 13th annual Clayton Art & Wine festival is this weekend, May 3rd and 4th starting at 10am each day. This is a great way to spend the day (or part of it anyway) tasting wines, perusing the arts and crafts and visiting with family, friends and neighbors. And of course enjoying the ongoing live music.

My favorite artist last year was playing music of the Andes. I purchased several CDs to give as gifts and wish I had kept one for myself. Hopefully, that musician will return with his wonderful music.

On Sunday, I will have an open house from 1 to 4 pm just a few blocks away from the festival at 108 Mt. Whitney Way in Clayton.
