Volunteers Needed March 16, 2013 8:00 AM-3:00 PM or until finished delivering
Volunteers are needed March 15th in the evening and all day on March 16th. To make this biggest fundraiser of the year successful we need many
volunteers! This is an entire community effort and we will find a job for anyone! Help is needed advertising in the community, driving trucks to deliver mulch,
loaders, delivery helpers, help keeping the parking lot clear of debris the day of the sale, help with food, the list goes on...there is a job for everyone. Middle
School students can obtain service learning approval from Ms. Zacharski prior to the mulch sale. Middle School students that come to help must be
accompanied by a responsible adult. Food is provided to volunteers the day of the Mulch Sale! To volunteer email Julie Perry, julieperry1372@gmail.com
