The El Camino Hospital-based volunteer group, the Roadrunners, whose members provide transportation for seniors who can no longer drive, needs 10-12 more volunteer drivers who can donate a half-day once a week.

“We offer a flexible schedule, the camaraderie of other volunteers and affiliation with one of the most reputable hospitals in the country,” said Coordinator Lila Steiner.

“The only requirements are a clean California driver’s license, some patience and dependability.”

The Roadrunners have operated since 1984, starting with one privately owned vehicle, according to Steiner.

Pam Swanson, volunteer coordinator, said some clients are transported to places where they still perform community service. She noted one 89-year-old who is driven to El Camino’s emergency room - where she volunteers.

To volunteer for the Roadrunners, call 940-7214.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

When members of the Los Altos Village Association first created the summer movie nights, they anticipated an event that would attract more residents downtown as a way to promote business.

What they didn’t anticipate was an influx of middle schoolers, or that parents would use the weekly Friday night affair as an opportunity to drop off their children and have someone else (in this case, the Village Association) effectively watch over them.
