Assisteens 2019 – 2020

The Assisteens calendar traditionally runs from August through May. The day of the week or times vary from year to year. Registration for the new season usually occurs around April or May. This year, registration opened on Saturday, April 27 at 12 Noon and is now full.

Assisteens will have a Meet & Greet on August 18, 2019 from 4:00-5:00 PM.  Barring conflicts with school holidays, monthly meetings will follow on the third Sunday of the month beginning September 15, 2019 and ending May 17, 2020.  A folder of information with a student roster and updated calendar is given to our members at the first meeting.  All important information is also posted below.  Please look for updates and let us know if you are not receiving these email notifications.

All meetings are held at Assistance League of Flintridge located at 4607 Oakwood Avenue, La Cañada Flintridge, adjacent to the library and across from TJ Maxx..  The Chapter Meeting Room (CMR) is behind the Bargain Box Thrift Shop, down the driveway to the left.

Assisteens in Action
As members of the Assistance League of Flintridge “Assisteens” auxiliary, the teens meet monthly and work together on many projects.  They also staff the Bargain Box Thrift Shop one Saturday each month.  Pictured at the Bargain Box in their red aprons and ready to greet customers at the cash registers are (left to right) Sophia Stephen, Sarah Pyne-Jaeger, Warren Lam, Kevin Oghalai, Ryan King and Thomas Oghalai.

In addition to conducting business and working on projects, Assisteens receive informative presentations such as this one on plastics and their effect on the environment that was presented by Assisteen Melina Tsotras.  She has been studying this subject in connection with her Girl Scout Gold Award.  Also at this meeting was Assistance League of Flintridge member Rose Nielsen, who brought her therapy dog “Goldie” and shared their experiences helping hospitalized children.

 “We have a wonderful group of Assisteens,” said Jeanette Viau,  Assistance League of Flintridge member and Assisteens Coordinator.  “They are very enthusiastic and strive to improve the community.”
