OHA Volunteers

By Elaine Tamashiro Volunteer Services Director To those readers who responded to our appeal for help with Operation 'Ohana in last month's issue, thanks for calling. To be a registrar the requirements are simple: "a knowledge of punctuation, grammar, spelling, and word usage." This is necessary to help others to fill out their enrollment forms. It is also desirable "to have an ability to read and interpret materials, understand and follow oral and written instructions, compare names and numbers rapidly and accurately and maintain confidentiality." If you haven't signed up yet, please eall me at 946-2642 on O'ahu. On the neighbor islands, eall the OHA community liaison. Some interesting statistics . . . to enroll our target group of 150,000 native Hawaiians by June 30, 1990, we need to enroll 18,750 persons a month. That's 625 people daily and if we use volunteers who ean give us at least four hours a week or 16 hours monthly, we will need approximately 52 volunteers per day to do the job. So, get on the phone to your friends and relatives and eall the Volunteer office. Be a part of Phase I of Operation 'Ohana. Free training sessions will be offered to those interested in volunteering.
