Calling
all “fellow foodies”
We
need your help to make it happen! Join us to help set up for the food
forum at 8:30, then relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and baked goodies
before the forum starts. We also need extra hands to clean up afterwards -
come experience the camaraderie of this all volunteer event!
We will have a GWCG information booth at the farmer’s market from 12-5 and will
need volunteers to be at the table, handing out our new brochures and sharing
information about the co-op.
We have lots of great speakers and vendors, and hope you can join us for this
fabulous community event. If you are available to help
us out, please call Deana Dahl, volunteer coordinator 509-281-1813 or
Margie Fickett, event planner 509-427-4461
Thank you all for your support!
