[Highland Park] Volunteer Receptionist needed
by Sherry Goldman 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

I had such good luck with my previous postings for volunteers, I thought I'd try another one. Thanks, neighbors! I'm looking for someone to volunteer to help staff the front desk in my office which has been downsized due to budget constraints. You would mainly be interviewing students to assist them in finding a tutor. The perks: Lots of contact with people (a people person's dream job) Opportunity for a reference for future jobs A dynamic and friendly family atmosphere Flexible hours (although 10-2 would be ideal) Lots of food... we love to eat! The downside: We can't pay you. If you are interested, please call me at work (412-396-6039) Sherry Goldman Assistant Director Michael P. Weber Learning Skills Center

[Highland Park] Piano Teacher Needed
by Rob Schwartz 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

My daughter, aged 7, has been taking piano lessons for about 2 1/2 years. Unfortunately, her teacher has decided to stop teaching. Does anyone know of someone who's good at teaching piano to younger kids? My wife and I both work full time, so the lessons would have to be after 5:30pm during the week someplace in the East End, or, ideally, at our house. I believe there may have been messages in the past from qualified teachers, but I don't have any of those saved. Thanks. Rob Schwartz

I have a box of 22 of the stemware depicted below---once sold as champagne glasses before flutes became the more acceptable receptacle. At any rate, if you have a use for these, they are yours for the taking. Jean Thomas 412 661 0457 HPIM0906.JPG
