VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
The Festival this year needs many things from new chair persons to the regular volunteers. There are sign up sheets for volunteers posted in the gathering space of the Church. We ask that you really consider volunteering this year or possibly taking over one of the following booths to chair:
- Perogies & Stuffed Cabbage: Needs a new chairperson to take care of all the prep work and organization of volunteers.
- Selling of the 12,000 raffle tickets: Needs a chairperson to organize those volunteers as well and the handling of tickets.
- Confectionery: If you love candy, kids, and ice cream this might be a great spot for you.
- Clean up crew: Consist of manning a crew for clean-up before, during and after the festival.
If you are interested in chairing any of these booths, call Tiffany Cogswell (313) 574-5097. Also, if you are interested in volunteering for anything please sign up.
