FUNDRAISING
Fall Craft Show - Volunteers Needed!
We are looking for help Friday night to set-up and throughout the event on Saturday. There are several different time slots to spread the work around as much as possible - many hands make light work! We are also looking for food donations for our concession stand and bake sale table.
There are several pages on this signup to consolidate all the volunteer and food requests into one list. Please scroll through the complete list when considering how to help.
As always, we appreciate all your help to make this a successful fundraiser for our students and our program.
