• Charlottetown Mall (Lego & Create-a-Bear)

There is a volunteer info. session tonight at Founder's Hall. It starts at 7pm and is about an hour in length (this will count towards your hours!!)

If you are able to go tonight, you can sign-up for the activities there (and learn about the different volunteer positions available). If you are unable to attend, you can sign-up by calling Richard Jamieson @ 629-1714.

Please call to sign-up!!! All volunteers will receive a free pass to all the weekend's activities. Volunteers are needed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Also, anyone interested in helping with set-up please phone the above number. Richard said they are in desperate need of volunteers to set up the lights etc. at the Civic Centre.
