CCHE CURRICULUM SALE WORKER VOLUNTEER MEETING MAY 12 AND MAY 20
There are two upcoming volunteer meetings. Volunteers only need to attend one of them as the meetings are the same.

The first meeting will be Monday, May 12 at First Church of God, Room 120 at 7:00 p.m.,
3300 NE 78th Street, Vanc., WA 98665, Room 120 (back of church building).

The second meeting will be Tuesday, May 20 at 7:00 p.m. at the PUD building on 117th Ave in the community room. During each meeting, we will go over the basics of how things will be operated on both Thursday and Friday, and explain what is involved in the different areas for which we need help. Volunteers can then sign up for the jobs they want to do and the times they will be available to help. Should you have any questions, please call Sally Bertsch evenings at 694-4130, or email skbertsch@hotmail.com. We appreciate our volunteers and look forward to seeing you!
