suggested commitment. The benefits from this major fundraiser helps keep our pay-to-play fees low and helps
offset various expenses of the club.
How can you help? Please let us know what you are interested in working by checking the spaces below. The
coordinators will be reaching out to you with more information once it gets closer to the festival. We are
appreciative of all those volunteering to make the festival a success. THANK YOU!!!
