Stanwood Camano Little League pitches for help

A bullpen full of volunteer positions need filling around baseball fields in Stanwood and Camano Island.
“There is a spot for everyone,” says Robyn Candelaria, president of Stanwood Camano Little League.
She says they have all the coaches they need but could use umpires, scorekeepers, concessions helpers, sponsors, helpers for car wash fundraising, a gear-swap coordinator and helpers for phone trees.
“We plan to add more events and will end the season with a closing ceremony,” she said. “Volunteers will be needed each step of the way.”

“We are having so much fun this year and would love to include anyone interested in joining our ever-growing program.”
And if you do want a little exercise, you could have a swell time grooming the fields.

If you love dogs, cats, helping the public, paperwork and running a staff, here is a potential part-time job: Camano Animal Shelter Association is hiring a shelter manager.
Molly Kaufmann, board member at large, says the manager runs the shelter on Camano and its programs.
Mail resumes to CASA, P.O. Box 1726, Stanwood, WA 98292.
“We’re looking for someone who has lots of energy to manage both the staff and welcome the public,” Kaufmann says. “Diplomacy and the ability to resolve conflict is also important.”

Mothers from Camano Island, Mill Creek, Lynnwood and Everett have been “customers” of Dr. Milton Curtis of Kenmore, says Sherry Grindeland, spokeswoman with Evergreen Healthcare.
Women came from all over.
He delivered more than 1,000 babies in 27 years.
A celebration-of-life party is planned in his honor from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday at Christ Church, 11725 NE 118th St., Kirkland. Let them know if you’re coming by calling 425-485-6561.
“My birthday is April 26th and I thought this was a fun way to celebrate, by bringing all the babies and their families together,” Curtis said. “Last November I reached a milestone, delivering a baby for a now-adult baby I delivered.”
And after the party?
Curtis will continue his practice but won’t work in the delivery room.
He says it’s time to spend his nights sleeping.
