Your children need less supervision. Perhaps you've recently retired and no longer have a 9 to 5 commitment. Whatever the case, why not fit volunteering into your schedule? Volunteering is as rewarding to you as it is to those you assist. Not only do you stay active and involved in your community, you meet new people and can develop new skills and interests. You also gain a sense of pride and satisfaction that comes only from helping others. Interested? Learn more with A Guide to Volunteering for Older Americans (Item 638Z, free). This free publication from ACTIONThe Corporation Community for National Service, and the Administration on Aging and the Center on Aging at the University of Maryland discusses many of the opportunities and benefits associated with volunteering. Just send your name and address to Consumer Information Center, Dept. 638Z, Pueblo, CO 81009. Volunteers come from all walks of life, with a diversity of interests, skills, talents and abilities. And you can volunteer in any number of ways. The most important step is first deciding what interests yqu. The more you enjoy your volunteer activities, the more personal satisfaction you'll feel. If you were a teacher, for example, and enjoy seeing young faces beam with the thrill of discovery, you may decide to work with children with learning disabilities. And history buffs may delight in sharing their knowledge and insights with visitors at a local museum. But your options are open. Just because you're a former health care worker, for instance, doesn't mean you have to volunteer in that field You may decide to lend a hand planting flowers in downtown parks or tutor in an adult literacy program. You don't need to be an expert or have formal training to be a volunteer there are a variety of positions available. Many organizations need help answering phones or filing records. Others may be looking for drivers to de- - liver meals to the homebound, or escort patients to doctor's appointments. You can share your interest in crafts with the residents of a nursing home, or take part in the children's storytime at the library. Coalville Health Center 82 North 50 East Coalville, UT No matter how you decide to volun- teer, your time is sure to be wel- comed. Speaking of time, you need to consider how much you're willing to spend and what type of schedule is best for you. Do you want to work a few hours each morning, or would all day on Saturday be better? Are you volunteering for a specific maybe six period of time or months or over the summer will you be available indefinitely? Some volunteer organizations and programs are fairly flexible, while others may need volunteers to work during certain hours, or require a commitment. Ask how long-terideal schedule fits in with your m theirs. Some other questions you may want to ask include: Will I be given a written job description? Is liability insurance provided in the event of injury? Will I receive training, guid ob When you write, you'll also receive a free copy of the Consumer Information Catalog.

Operation Halts Investment Scam Officials from the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Securities and the Office of the Utah Attorney General announced today that a small sting operation halted an investment scam involv- ing phony $50,000 cashier's checks. Jorge Alejandro, the man allegedly behind the scheme, is currently in jail awaiting arraignment on felony charges of securities and communications fraud. According to the Division of Securities, a Salt Lake Gty businessman contacted the Division last week stating he had been contacted by a man who wanted him to invest money to provide security for a shipment of gold from the Philippines. The businessman said he was shown a $50,000 cashier's check drawn on Central Dominion Trust and was told if he invested $30,000, the $50,000 cashier's check would be placed in escrow and, after 30 days, would be turned over to him. Officials from the Division of Securities contacted the Federal Reserve Bank, which confirmed that Central Dominion Trust did not exist and that similar phony checks Kamas Health Center 158 West 200 South (new Park City Hwy) Kamas.

Late Monday afternoon, an Securities posed as an interested investor and obtained sufficient evi- dence to warrant the arrest of Alejandro, who was the named payee on the cashier checks. Officials from the Utah Attorney General's Office then made the arrest. "Unfortunately, we've seen similar phony investment schemes involving millions of dollars in offshore gold deals, stated Mark Griffin, director of the Division of Securities. "People invest their money, thinking they are going to get rich quick, and they are left with nothing. We were fortunate to be able to atop this scam before it really got into foil swing." Constance White, executive director of the Utah Department of Commerce, commends the local businessman for contacting the Division of Securities before handing overany money. "Investors need to find out as much informatipn as possible before making an investment," White stated. "Unfort innately, in a scam operation, once your money is out of your hands -- y chances are it is gone for good." , State officials noted that it is possible this is not the first time Alejandro or others have pitched this investment scheme.
