    Neighborhood Helpers can now record volunteer work and have the person they helped confirm it. At the end of the year there's a record to print for school, with every entry signed by the neighbor who was actually there. Unpaid work only — paid jobs are something else.

The city hosted the outdoor screening, and several hundred people — including many young fans — gathered to watch on a large outdoor screen.
