"Save the date - mark your calendars for "Career Day 2018" Tuesday, May 1st. This will be a terrific opportunity to explore various careers, maybe land a job, learn the secrets of interviewing and resume writing, find an internship, and much more - and you don't even need to dress up! "Career Day" Director Ron Scott is looking for 4 or 5 enthusiastic volunteers to add to his already formed organizing committee. He is looking for individuals with event planning experience, human resources background, individuals who are well-connected in the Crescenta Valley, or anyone who has a passion to make this a GREAT event, and it may not be necessary to attend the event. To get involved email Ron at: ronmelodyscott@att.net by February 19th.
