I Need Help!

Picture
At the beginning of each year, a volunteer packet is sent home to each family.  This is their opportunity to sign up for different committees they are interested in giving their time to.  We can also make a special request for volunteers when needed.  Please know that you are never alone on anything.  If you are ever in need of assistance, please let the board know.  We are here to help you with whatever you need!

Helping Hands - A Committee that is strictly here to help you!  If you are short staff for an event, call Helping Hands committee.  If you need someone to help you with preparation for an event, call them.  Let Helping Hands know:  how many helpers you need, the exact time you need them and the date.
