Take Care of Things, Now. Please.

OK friends, here is where I get snarky. I am heading out of town for a very important family event, and I need to know this is taken care of, so that I can relax. Please, help take care of things right away, so I can go enjoy my family.

We have a contract with the Tigard Festival of Balloons to provide security monitors. We also plan to sell concessions at the Festival soccer tournament as well, but that is not part of our contractual obligation - it just helps us. So we need to get ALL the security monitor slots filled, RIGHT NOW. After those have been filled, then we can take care of the rest of the soccer concessions spots. Remember, you can sign up for multiple shifts, and the more you work, the more funds go toward your Fair Share fees. And family members can work shifts on your behalf, so everybody wins. CLICK HERE, to sign up on our Volunteer Spot page.

Here is what is still needed:

    • 7 Students/Adults
    • 1 Adults Only

It would be most excellent if we could get these all filled by the end of the evening Thursday June 16. Let's go!
