You, too, can touch a life, make something good happen for someone
else. Join other volunteers in the second annual United Way Day of
Caring on Aug. 31, as they offer their time and skills to help health
and human service agencies served by SEFA and the United Way. 
	What can you do? During last year's effort 140 UB volunteers
plastered and painted walls at Habitat for Humanity, raked and
gardened at Geneva B. Scruggs Community Center, read to children in a
day-care center and delivered meals to families in need at the Native
American Center.
	Already this year, 134 volunteers from 61 units at UB have
volunteered to take part in the 1994 Day of Caring. Of the volunteers,
36 have requested indoor work, 35  outdoor work, with 15 opting for
physical labor and 72 offering to do whatever is needed. Among other
preferences, 42 volunteers have asked to work with children and youth,
16 with senior citizens, 3 with adults, 6 with people who are
physically or mentally challenged and 66 have said they'll go to
anyone who needs help.
	To join in UB's mission of serving the people of Western New
York, you can sign up by contacting Dr. Carole Smith Petro at 503
Capen Hall, North Campus. Professional and support staff should charge
their volunteer time to their annual leave accruals.
	The 1994 program on Aug. 31 calls for 7-7:30 a.m. check-in at
Buffalo Convention Center; 7:30 a.m., brief informational program and
breakfast; 8 a.m., sendoff to agencies; 8:30-Noon, volunteers assist
agencies; Noon-2 p.m., return to Convention Center for lunch and gala
celebration.
