VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
· Lake Sumter State College has an excellent opportunity for students who need Community Service Hours. Volunteer at KIDS COLLEGE’17 this summer. There are two sessions on the Leesburg and Clermont Campus.

· The Early Learning Coalition of Lake County is hosting a Uniting For Children Early Childhood Conference at LSSC on April 1, 2017. The annual workshop is for early childhood professionals and leaders in the community. Last year, we had over 200 attendees and expect to meet or exceed that this year. We have a need for volunteers to assist our staff with the conference on that day and thought that perhaps that Tavares High School had students who needed community service hours and could assist us on April 1st.

Word of the Day
reverberate
Hit Me Again Word of the Day:
Though it doesn't technically have a claim to a much wider field of meaning than echo, reverberate nearly always carries a connotation of loud noise, disturbance, or great force — so it finds a job to do when echo doesn't seem to go far enough. The Latin original meant "struck again," from a root word for a rod.
