***Volunteer Positions -The May Banquet, WE Fair Group Exhibit, and Halloween in the Park all need volunteers. Details follow.
The May Banquet –A volunteer is still needed to lead this event and 2- 3 others are needed to assist. This is a potluck dinner where each member brings what they want to make for dinner. No sign up needed. The committee needs to do the set up: This includes getting tablecloths, napkins, plates, silverware, and a centerpiece and cleaning up after dinner. (There are many supplies in the closet at the church already. Just check there first.) There is money in the budget for these expenses. There is a separate refreshment committee already. (You can ask Mary M. or Chris R. for info as they did this last year.)
Group Exhibit at the West End Fair- Two or three volunteers needed. A theme is decided by the WEF so it will give you some guidance of what you can do. (You can ask Bonnie P. or Lisa A. for info)
Halloween in the Park – Two volunteers are needed to hand out candy on Oct. 18th at the Chestnuthill Park on Rte. 715. Rain date is Oct. 25th. You will need a table for the candy, a pop-up if desired, chairs, club banner, and candy which you will purchase with club money. This amount is in the yearbook for this year. Some members also donate candy too. If you use your car with the trunk up you won’t need chairs or pop up. Last year it was from 11:00 am to 2 pm, a 3 hour event. This is a great event for the members who work and want to help the club and our community. (Ask Bonnie P. or Isabel P. for information as they have done this in the past.)
