Volunteers also help white glove, register students, are door monitors, teacher's assistants and help with other tasks to make the show run efficiently and safely. This year we especially need assistance with the Alzheimer's Initiative Quilts that will be displayed.
Thank you to all who helped last year. Whether you can stand or must sit, we could use your assistance. Contact the Original Creative Festival by emailing nancyt@cdmshows.com to volunteer. |
