Please help.  We are looking for volunteers to staff "The 350th Souvenir Shoppe"
as well as to help with 350th events

Would you like to volunteer to help at some of the 350th events?  There are many ways to help.  Some involve just a few hours, some more.
It's a great way to participate in the events, and to meet more of your neighbors.

Souvenir shoppe:  We need volunteers to help out at special "traveling" events, to set up a display at some of the events planned for the year.  You can
help out just once with this or several times.  Volunteers are also needed for the souvenir shoppe on a regular basis.  We are open Tuesday nights 6:30 to 8:30
and Fridays 1 PM to 3:45 PM.  Volunteers at the Shoppe can commit to once a week, once a month, or twice a month.

Photo contest:
need someone to create a video loop of 350th photos that we have received and can be put on a DVD or CD (to be done by June 1)
need people to help hang the photos for the photo show at the Summit House- Sun 4/26 at 10:00 am

Hockanum Schoolhouse Plant Sale May 30th:  Do you have plants to donate to the sale?  Would you like to help pot up plants on May 9th from 10 to noon at 179
Hockanum Rd?  All funds raised go to help preserve the schoolhouse.
