We would also like to invite all volunteers to come help with the Picnic.
We need help to set things up, staff the various stations during the day and to help take things down and clean up after the picnic is over. You can help on a shift and also enjoy participating in the picnic. It's our event, lets make it great and fun! Please contact Picnic via email or call 800-767-5139 if you can help.
