Homecoming Week - Get your classmates involved!

This marks Homecoming Week for the Cokeville Panthers. Today students in jr. and sr. high school went to school dressed in PAJAMA'S! That was the theme of the day!

In recognition of Homecoming, we need individuals who can rally current or former classmates to take on the Class Challenge for the "Give Back to Dave Wade" fundraiser! Every class that cumulatively raises $100 or more dollars will be recognized on the frame of the painting that will be presented to the Cokeville High School this Friday, at the Homecoming Assembly.

Donations may be mailed to Cokeville Miracle Foundation, PO BOX 37, Cokeville, Wyo 83114

Thanks for your continued support!

A Personal Note From Karla regarding WSL - PART 2 of 4

this post is part 2 of 4...

The answer I received was "yes", this opportunity is for many that meet certain requirements and have skills necessary for this type of job. Of course with Wyoming dollars, preference is for Wyoming residents.

Being an officer of the Cokeville Historical Society and knowing that the Wyoming State Library would come to Cokeville at the request of the Cokeville Historical Society, I approached the president, Charlotte Freeman, about the idea and she was excited to host the event. I have recently been elected to be the new chairman of the Cokeville Miracle Foundation and one of our mission statements is to help improve the lives of citizen's of Cokeville. This job certainly fit that! Together, Charlotte and I, after talking to our respective boards, decided the Cokeville Historical Society and the Cokeville Miracle Foundation could co-sponsor this event and highlight our wonderful little community by showing our visitors a good time! We would take them to the Minerva Teichert Invitational Art Show and really let them know how glad we are they came to our town.

The Wyoming State Librarian has been just great to work with. She has answered all our questions and been very gracious in following the time schedule we've outlined for her. I can't wait to meet her in person. (I consciously do not post her name, she doesn't need all of us calling her!)

Plan to attend AUGUST 14 Presentation PRIOR TO TRAINING

The Cokeville Historical Society and the Cokeville Miracle Foundation are pleased to be able to coordinate bringing the Wyoming State Librarian to Cokeville to present a special project they are working on. There is also available some part-work available for the THOSE WHO SEE THE PRESENTATION and are interested in helping and have the necessary skills. (This training is not a total job training...please be proficient at typing, reading, comprehension, internet use and computer skills). As far as I know, there is no typing test with this job, but it is an at-will contract which most likely will have an expectation of hourly output.

We, your local society and foundation members, are making the COKEVILLE TRAINING available for THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN THE PRESENTATION AND are interested in it. You may pre-register for the training if you are fairly certain you have the necessary skills and documents and you want to help and you can attend the 1-2pm presentation on August 14. We'd like to have as many people train as possible over this two day period.

The Cokeville Historical Society and Cokeville Miracle Foundation have provided on-line sign-up for pre-registration for the trainings on a first come-first serve basis. There will be very limited space for any who have not pre-registered on-line and want to train after the presentation. Not training AT THIS TIME DOES NOT automatically preclude you from future part-time work on this project...it depends on the state funding etc. so please COME TO THE PRESENTATION even if you haven't pre-registered. You may not get trained right now but other trainings may become available.

This is a SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY. To make the most of it, we are asking that people who are interested in attending the training sessions to FIRST SEE THE PRESENTATION that will be on AUGUST 14 from 1-2pm at the town hall. I know this doesn't fit everyone's schedule but that's just how it is. It is a special opportunity we are bringing in and we welcome all those that can arrange their schedules so they can MAKE THE PRESENTATION.

We ask you to first attending the PRESENTATION on AUGUST 14 from 1-2pm at the town hall so that everyone fully understands the nature of this huge project and the training that will go along with it.

Also, it will leave training time open for training, not questions and explaining again what the project will entail. COKEVILLE CLASS TIME IS LIMITED and so is Cokeville class space.

IMPORTANT: Training place will be announced at the presentation. TRAINING IS IN COKEVILLE BUT WILL NOT BE HELD AT THE TOWN HALL

A few more anwers to questions about WSL project and job...

Here are a few more answers to commonly asked questions about the WSL pt/ job that is being blogged about on this site. You can click here to read a post called "General Information" about the WSL project and job.

You can click here to read the post called "The Details" about the WSL (Wyoming State Library) project and job.

YOU MUST HAVE TYPING, READING, COMPUTER SKILLS. MUST BE ABLE TO PRODUCE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, WYOMING IDENTIFICATION ETC.

They have had a wonderful response...it sounds like they might be topped out on 20hr/wk workers after the Cokeville training is complete...the Cokeville Historical Society and Cokeville Miracle Foundation are hosting the Wyoming State Library as a benefit to the Cokeville area. Other interested persons, or those interested after these dates, may need to wait for other presentations or future funding.

The other question was about annual limits on time or income. In order to keep as many 20hr/wk jobs open as possible, funding will be allocated as if contract workers (that is you...the person working) will work the full 20. Once the state's money is gone, or allocated, it will be up to the state legislature to fund more next time around, or not.
