Kiwanis donates car seats to BG Pregnancy Center The Bowling Green Kiwanis Club recently donated six new car seats valued at $300 to the Bowling Green Pregnancy Center's Earn While You Learn program. The center program is 100 percent donor sponsored and gives participants an opportunity to earn needed items while at the same time exploring life-affirming options of parenting and adoption. The donation coincides with both organizations' missions, as the Kiwanis Club's stated mission is to "change the world one child, one community at a time." "One of the biggest fears our clients have is not being able to provide those initial basic needs for their child," said BG Pregnancy Center Executive Director Lynette Worthy. "When we allow them an opportunity to earn these items they are eager to do whatever it takes. The car seats tell them that our community cares." Bridge Hospice offering volunteer training FINDLAY - Bridge Hospice will offer training courses for prospective volunteers beginning on July 30. The training will be held in the Wenner Conference Room at Birchaven Village, located at 15100 Birchaven Lane in Findlay, and will take place for six consecutive Mondays from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Courses will cover the basic principles of hospice, understanding the special needs of patients and their families, effective communication, patient care, pain and symptom management, spiritual care giving and understanding grief and loss. No previous hospice experience is necessary; however, volunteers must be at least 18 years old. Following training, volunteers can choose their area of involvement, such as caregiver relief, bereavement, care center, nursing home visitors, speakers' bureau, gift of dreams or clerical work. Pre-registration is required.
