Dinner-Dance Volunteers Needed for Decorating and Clean-up

Volunteers are needed for setup and decorating before, as well as clean-up after, for the 8th Grade Dinner-Dance on Friday May 28.

The decorating committee will meet on Friday May 28, starting at 1:00 p.m. in the School Hall and is expecting to work until 5:00 p.m., but hopefully earlier with enough helpers. If you can assist, the committee kindly requests that you bring your own scissors and tape with you.

Clean-up volunteers are also needed after the dance. Remember that the more that can help out, the quicker it will get done.

If you are able to volunteer, please e-mail Peggy Delaplane at delaplanefamily@aol.com.

Thank you in advance for your help!!
