Back to School … CEL News

12 September 2023Newswebmaster

Hello CEL Members and Volunteers,

School is back in session and our normal opening hours resume on Friday.
Fridays 10:00-12:00
Fridays 14:30-17:30
Saturdays 14:00-17:00

All children that participated in our Summer Reading Challenge can show their reading log to the volunteer at the desk and pick out a prize! Prizes will be available until Saturday October 14th.

Volunteers Needed!
Our current Volunteer Coordinator needs step down due to work obligations and we are looking for someone to fill this position. It’s a great way to volunteer and get involved at CEL. Anyone interested please send an email to liz.weiser@celstuttgart.de.

We are looking for someone to take over the remaining time for the board position from Alex Fluegel. The position runs until our Annual General Meeting in April when we will hold elections for new members. This is a great way to get a sense of being on the board without making a big commitment. You must be a member of CEL. Anyone interested please send an email to liz.weiser@celstuttgart.de.

We hope you all enjoyed the summer and wish you a good school year!

The CEL board

During the Pfingstferien which begins Saturday May 27th and lasts until Sunday June 11th, CEL is only open on the Friday afternoons of June 2 and 9th. We have volunteers signed up for both of those days.

But, this does mean the planned watercolour workshop has had to be cancelled as CEL is not open that Saturday.

CEL Closed – Saturday 13th May

13 May 2023Newswebmaster

Dear Members,

Apologies but our volunteer for today has had to cancel.
We have been unable to find a replacement at short notice and need to take the decision to close and send out mails about this now, in order to save you a wasted journey.

We will be open on Friday next week as usual, the next two Saturdays we still need volunteers for – if you are a trained desk volunteer please check your calendars.
For everyone else please keep your eye on the emails in case we can’t find anyone.

best regards,

The CEL Board
