Ohio Judicial Center

Election officials needed for May 2, 2006 primary. Contact for training info, precinct available and pay.

The time has finally come!!! I know you have waited a long time and I thank you so much for your patience. I am still having a time getting dates in all the theaters but that just shows how busy we are. We are ready to get the ball rolling and put on some new volunteers. This is not a small commitment so we will start with the interviews. Once you have successfully completed your interview you will move on to schedule an orientation. I have not been able to get any weekend days for interviews or orientations so I will try some daytime and evening times so that hopefully all of you can find one that will fit your schedule.

You will need to call or email me back with the date you have selected and just tell me if you will come between 2 - 5pm or 6 - 8pm. That will help me schedule interviewing staff. You will need to bring $3 for a name badge (correct change please)

Interviews are on March 28, 29 and 30 in the Shedd Lounge in the Riffe Center on the Mezzanine Level. ( The Riffe Center is a State run facility so you will be asked to check any bags or packages at the security desk (this does include purses). The Riffe Center is at the corner of State and High Streets.

Interview Times are Tues., Wed. and Thurs. from 2 pm to 5 pm and 6 pm to 8 pm.

Parking is on your own (probably best to park in the City Centre Garage)

The interview should not take more than 10 or 15 minutes but the wait could be longer than that if a lot of people come at the same time.

You must first go through this interview process to be invited to the next orientation for becoming a CAPA Volunteer. Bring your calendar so if you are going to go through an orientation you can schedule it at that time.

Thank you again for your patience and I hope to meet many of you later this month. We are as excited as you are to finally get this process going.

I am with a group of parents hoping to find a teacher--probably retired from public service--who would be interested in home schooling a group of 4-5 kids. These are middle school age children with alternative learning styles due to ADD or other neurological disorders, without behavior issues. Salary negotiable as is site; our home or teacher's. Interested families are in north Columbus/Westerville. Thank you.

Statehouse Volunteers Needed

Are you a Diva or a Drama King! If you love people, drama, history, have a theatrical flair and some extra time, the Ohio Statehouse would love to have you as a volunteer.

Greet and Tour

The Statehouse Education & Visitors Center is seeking people who have a gift of graciousness, diplomatic, like to walk and can pass a security check to be part of the talented Statehouse Volunteer Corps. Statehouse volunteers greet children and adults from throughout Ohio and the world and take groups of up to 40 people on 45-minute tours of the Statehouse. Volunteers may be asked to portray a character in Ohio or Statehouse history, dress in period clothing on certain days, or be asked to greet and accompany special visitors or groups of visitors.

Other Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are also needed to help in the Statehouse Museum Shop. You may assist with customers, inventory, gift wrapping, product displays, and seasonal decorating

Temporary Volunteers

If you are looking for a temporary opportunity, volunteers are needed for the holiday season, in the Statehouse Museum Shop and for Victorian Holiday tours. Volunteers needed from November 15 thru December 30.

Benefits

In return for the valuable time volunteers contribute, you will receive discounts at the Statehouse Museum Shop, free parking, invitations to special events and a free membership to the Ohio Historical Society. The Ohio Statehouse is an exciting place to be; you never know who you might run into.

To join the Volunteer Corps please contact Luke Stedke at 614-728-2697 or lstedke@csrab.state.oh.us for more information.

Retired teachers still can touch the future--one child at a time!
Your local CPS school needs volunteers.

The Ohio Judicial Center is seeking volunteers to lead scheduled tours through the building, sharing art and history with the public and school groups. Training is provided. Please call Julie Carrier at 614-387-9223 or Marilyn Allen at 614-299-4841 for more information.

Built in the early 1930's as the Ohio Departments Building, and restored seven decades later, the Ohio Judicial Center stands as a monument to the history, culture, and commerce of Ohio. Members of CEA-R toured this facility in January 2005.
The 16-story building, anchored on the east bank of the Scioto River, is the new home of the Ohio Supreme Court. The art and architecture are integrated to create a building that is functional and depicts Ohio history. The inscriptions and symbols carved in marble and bronze, and the muscular and mystic murals splashed across walls and ceilings, celebrate all who shaped the state: presidents, jurists, the native peoples, explorers, soldiers and artists.

Thanks so much for your help in getting the word out about volunteering to offer childcare for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. At this point, the large group of persons that we were expecting to come in today from the area are not coming at this point. However, we would still like to have names and contact information of individuals that would like to help because we are still servicing individuals that have come to Ohio on their own. Please remember that individuals must prove that they have been background checked recently to be able to work with this vulnerable population.

If you have any questions feel free to give me a call.

Get trained! Every year more than 4,000 people drown in the U.S. That's why the Red Cross urges everyone to learn to swim and take other safety precautions. Learn more. http://chapters.redcross.org/cmh-oh/HS/Water.htm
Together we can save a life.
