Greetings community partners!
This summer at Vía Esperanza Centro de Educación, CAP Sonoma's family resource center in southwest Santa Rosa, we continue to offer classes and programs to further enrich young minds and empower families. (Read about our summer programming here.)
In the coming weeks, we will introduce a new program for our families: The Family Reading Club. The inaugural club will see families come together to read, share, and discuss books in both English and Spanish as we look to bring together all the community members we serve - English learners, young learners, parents, children, friends, relatives, and more.
In order to create a richer experience for our families, we would like to extend an invitation for local community-serving organizations to sponsor a one-hour session of our Reading Club by reading a book (or books) to families, discussing the content (especially if it relates to a theme), and providing further insight into the benefits of the work that you conduct on a daily basis. Themes could cover education, careers, health, community building, government, business, agriculture, and more. For example, Sonoma County Regional Parks will be hosting one session and will cover the theme of nature and well-being by reading a bilingual book, providing a hands-on learning activity for families, and sharing information about their upcoming outings and efforts across the county. Exciting, right?!
If your organization would like to get involved and host a session (we have approximately six open), please contact me! We begin the Family Reading Club this week and hosted sessions will beginning Tuesday, June 26 and run through Tuesday, July 17 on Tuesdays & Thursdays.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Yours in community,
Michael P. Varela

One of the most effective ways to do this is by becoming a CASA volunteer. We are thankful that approximately 220 children in foster care in Sonoma County have a Court Appointed Special Advocate, a CASA, to help guide and advocate for them in the judicial and child welfare system. Unfortunately, at the same time we have 55 children still waiting for a CASA and referrals being received weekly.
Research shows that children in foster care, who have a CASA, live happier, healthier lives as adults. As little as 10
-12
hours a month can make a child's life brighter. Our Sumner
training begins July

HIRING A NEW EMPLOYEE
This process is one of the most important tasks we will face as a business owner or key member of Managment. If we hire a warm body just to fill a need we may create more problems than existed while being short of help. Each employee has 40 man hours weekly to do work but if the new person does less than other employees, will that employee bring down the productivity of our existing employees? If their attitude does not compliment what we already have will it drag down teamwork? If an employee comes to work under the influence they are more likely to cause a work accident. Damage to equipment is bad but causing harm to a person will be extremely hard for us as employers to deal with. Plus we will be liable for legal action. And we will have Workers Comp issues.
HIRING PROCESS
APPLICATION. It is a good idea to have potential employees complete the application on the business premises. Now you have to opportunity to look at how the potential employee follows directions. Can you read what he/she put on your application? What if that employee has to complete forms for the company. If someone else completed the application for a candidate outside of the work place you may get a false impression of the potential employee.
INTERVIEW. The owner should spend as much time as practical going over the application and determining why the candidate wants to work for your company. It is a good idea to have another key employee sit in with you during the interview to get a second opinion. If the potential person is a female then it is a good idea to have a female team member with you.
DRUG TEST. This is very important to our hiring process. It has been determined that 35% of all applicants do not pass this exam. Often it involves more than one drug.
PHYSICAL. Being sure a person has the ability to do the job opening you have is important. The physical should be tied to the job description and what abilities are necessary to safely do the tasks. Legal advise is necessary to see just how you can use the physical in determining hiring a person.
HAND BOOK...JOB DESCRIPTIONS...POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.
It is critical today to have these in writing and updated annually.
