JOB CLUB PROPOSED FOR LIBRARY

I spoke with Genie Contratra, executive director of the Library, about setting up a job club at our beautiful new library. The library has a great computer room. The club could provide residents who are unemployed with an opportunity to chat with other people who are out of work. Club members and advisors could provide residents with assistance re: resume writing, contacts, etc... We hope to set up the club in January, 2009. In the meantime - I have been compiling a list of people who are looking for work. Other residents have been e mailing me info about job opportunities in their businesses. If you know of available jobs or want to be put on the list of residents who are advised of job opportunities (as I learn of them) please e mail me at pfeiner@greenburghny.com
