Spring training is not just for baseball! Preparations are underway for a Volunteer Training Class which will take place in April at Talbot Hospice Foundation, 586 Cynwood Drive in Easton. The program is designed to prepare volunteers to work directly at Hospice House, in private homes, at health care facilities, and in both caregiver and administrative positions.

Lucy Tepper, the Volunteer Coordinator at Talbot Hospice will oversee the comprehensive 18 hour training which will address a variety of end-of-life issues. There is no charge for the training.

The April class will meet on the following dates; April 14 and 16 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and April 18 and 25 from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

The rewards for being a Hospice volunteer are immeasurable. For more information, please call Volunteer Coordinator, Lucy Tepper at Talbot Hospice at 410-822-6681. You may also find a wealth of information, at www.talbothopsice.org .
