We need a few volunteers to help with:

  • Decorations preparation and setup late Saturday afternoon
  • Organize and set out potluck treats for the break
  • Hall cleanup after the dance
Helpers receive discounted or free admission to the evening dance (depending on how much time you can donate).
Please contact our volunteer coordinator if you can help.
