A
Chance to Breathe Fresh
We need volunteers to lead hikes and excursions;
register and greet guests; sell T-shirts; staff workshop information centers;
manage logistics including signs, parking and camping; and much, much more. We
need you NOW and for the event itself.
It is not too early to add your name to the growing
list of potential volunteers. If you
have a particular interest, let us know and we will be happy to accommodate
you. (Our greatest need for volunteers will be Friday, July 17 – Monday, July
20.) Please contact Jean Anderson
at jeanoutdoors@aol.com
to let her know when you would like to help out. And thank you.
