World's Fair- FRIDAY!
The Worlds' Fair is just 5 days away and we still need volunteers! If you are able to help set-up before the event, staff a game or craft during the event, or take down at the end of the night, we would love the assistance! It is not necessary to have completed the volunteer process to help or even to speak English. We need Spanish-speakers too! Just call the office at 730-7768 to let us know, or complete our GLC World's Fair Volunteer Interest Form. Thank you!
Wristbands will be sold at the discounted pre-sale price of $5 at the following dates/times. At the same time, donations may be made to our Penny Pursuit fundraiser for earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria. Tricky Tray tickets will be available 5 for $20 at these times.
