She has been doing dou- ble duty for several years in two major areas and is look- ing for assistance in both. Shirley coordinates the weekend artisan show and would like to get assistance with that task. Shirley also coordinates the hundred plus volunteers that we need for the festival week- end and would like to have someone take over that role. Does one of these opportuni- ties hit you as, “Oh, that’s something I could do”? Well, email or give me a call. Over the years, we have had folks volunteer from a wide range of backgrounds, not just the “artsy fartsy” types you might expect. Health care professionals, business people, retired lit- erature teachers (me), even a retired lawyer. The cliché that “it takes all types” is very true of our Organizing Committee. Their common bond is supporting the fund- raising mission of our non- profit association on behalf of public art education in lo- cal high schools. Are you in- teresting in joining the ef- fort? For more information about volunteering for the Charbonneau Festival of the Arts, call or email: Eric Hoem, president of the Char- bonneau Arts Association, Rick Cady, chair of the Arts Festival Organizing Com- mittee or Shirley Hoem, vol- unteer coordinator for the Charbonneau Festival of the Arts.
