to our volunteers so far...
we need more...

Off I go to Home Depot!

Ellen and Bret will also sign up for Thursday Registration from 3:00-5:00

Loring and Susan Green will cover the registration desk on Thursday from 5:00 'til 6:30 PM.

Would someone else be able to help with any openings we have?

For the new participants that haven't signed up, because they're not certain what will be expected on them... none of it's hard and all of it is fun and certainly helpful.

For instance, setup and cleanup for the numerous potluck activities entails setting up the tables... they're all stacked nearby. When the activity is over, wiping down the tables and stacking them up where you got them! Then walk around and police the area looking for little bits of stray paper and bottle caps, etc. Fortunately the participants are neat and take care of disposing of their trash. There are several plastic sacks for garbage disposal that will be strategically placed around the potluck area. Then when you walk back to your trailer site, you take a garbage bag and dispose of it in the dumpster(s) provided by the park.

DONE. See that's not hard!

Donna Put me down for setup/cleanup Saturday from 5:30 to 8:00. Lee Senn

Sign me up for helping at registration with Keith and Dee on Friday from 12-2 p.m. Looking forward to seeing you all.
