Calling All Volunteers
Needed – a few good volunteers for the Festival on July 11th. Please consider volunteering for an hour or so at our Festival so we can keep the music coming in the future. We have enjoyed an incredible run of smoothly-run Festivals because we have a dedicated core group of people. But we need more volunteers to help with things like directing parking and set up and take down.
If you’re interested in finding out how you can become a part of the Festival crew, call or email Pat Connolly at 920-787-4416 or pconnolly@hughes.net
