And so began my volunteer career as Wednesday morning receptionist at Community Services. That was 10 years ago, through the open door at the top of many long stairs. The simple, black, desk phone was undemanding with messages for the full-time and part-time personnel in the office. The receptionist licked stamps, processed the mail and filled in time with "busy work." Most importantly, we were there. There, to handle enquiries and welcome the people who entered our open door.

In the past 10 years many fice invites more foot traffic receptionists have come and the receptionist finds litand gone. They come for tle time for "busy work" on various personal reasons; an average shift. seeking some purpose in All manner of enquiries their otherwise drawn-out keep them aware of what is days that for some reason going on in the community just seem to flow one into the next. Some have a need to "help out" using experience accumulated in some previous career. Others like to be "where it's at" turning this volunteer job into a stepping-stone to more ambitious endeavours in satisfying, full-time employment.

Some of our receptionists have found satisfying fulltime employment, some have returned to increased family commitments and some have moved into other areas of volunteer work. Some remain as experienced volunteer receptionists giving the same personal attention and loyalty that they would to a regular job. And indeed, some of them do think of it as a regular job with its personal obligation and established routine. The simple, black desk phone has been replaced with a busy three-line system and intercom servicing 13 offices and staff.

It is significant that the receptionist at community services is still welcoming at the open door and that her presence is an important factor in the successful functioning of the office. Applicants still come, wanting to volunteer; wanting something to fill the days left open by the needs of a growing family or an absent husband. They still come hoping to polish a few of their skills enabling them to seek a "regular job" with more confidence. The receptionists fill a halfday shift one day a week as suits the volunteer and enquiries are welcomed by Kathy Coleman, volunteer supervisor at The Centre 792-4267.
