Volunteers American Red Cross needs volunteers for special events. Volunteers must have a current Standard First Aid, Emergency Response, EMT technician certificate or LVN, RN, MD license and CPR certification. Events include Bay to Breakers, community festivals, parades, county fairs and concerts. Shadelands Museum needs volunteers to act as docents and provide tours of the 1902 Colonial Revival-style home. A training class will be 10 a.m.
Docents usually volunteer about six hours a month.
Costumes are provided by the Historical Society. A Child's Voice in Court needs volunteers to speak up for children in Contra Costa County. Rose's Day needs artists willing to donate and represent works for an art auction and sale at the annual breast cancer event May 20 in Walnut Creek. Donations are tax deductible and 100 percent of the proceeds benefit under- and uninsured women with breast cancer in Contra Costa County. Artists are not required to be present at event, but are welcome.
