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?
