THE WEST OAKLAND PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE
CLAWSON/MCCLYMONDS/BUNCHE SUBAREA
The West Oakland Project Area Committee (WOPAC) is seeking a representative from an existing community organization in the Clawson/McClymonds/Bunche subarea to serve. The WOPAC advises the City Council on the use of redevelopment funds in the West Oakland Redevelopment Project Area. The WOPAC meets once a month on second Wednesday evenings and also has two standing subcommittees.
To qualify as a community organization representative, the person must be appointed to serve as a representative member by an existing nonprofit corporation or association of persons and/or entities which have been elected to serve on the WOPAC. The WOPAC’s preference is for the organization to be based in the subarea and be primarily focused on issues of that subarea.
Please contact Ms. Hui-Chang Li at 238-6239 or hli@oaklandnet.com for a Candidate Filing Form if you are interested and/or have any questions regarding this position. Interested candidates must submit a completed Filing Form and any attachments to Ms. Li by July 15th to be heard and considered by the WOPAC during the August 12th WOPAC meeting.
The next WOPAC General Meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 8th, 6:30-9:00 at The West Oakland Senior Center, 1724 Adeline Street. You are welcome to attend to observe the body in action.
Volunteer to help stem the tide of truancy!
Your help is greatly needed to stem the tide of truancy in Oakland. Our beleaguered school clerks are often responsible for attendance as well as performing many other duties with constant interruptions. Because of that, calls to parents to follow up on absences are often not made.
If you have a daytime hour or two a week, you could help a school clerk make those calls to parents. Volunteers will be trained and assigned to a convenient school. A child back in school has great results:
1. The opportunity for learning,
2. Less likelihood of getting hurt or into trouble in the streets, and
3. Increased income for the school which is based on average daily attendance
We have at least 10 schools in District 3, and 5 volunteers have signed up already. It would be great to have 1 person for each day of the week for each school
(50 volunteers). Please share this information with someone you know who would be a trustworthy volunteer with daytime free hours.
It takes a village.....
For more information, and/or to volunteer, please contact Angela Haick, 510/879-1460, angela.haick@ousd.k12.ca.us.
