Johnny Appleseed is fast approaching next weekend. We still really, really, really, need volunteers for Sat. and Sunday afternoons. We are especially in desperate need of male volunteers for our afternoon shifts. It takes a lot of manpower to run our booth, especially when we get busy. Please consider signing up for one or both of these afternoons. The money we raise helps pay for the kids' activities. Come out and help so we can keep parent's costs down.
Sign Up Here for Johnny Appleseed:
