Hi all!

We are in need of some volunteers on this day to help with the 4th grade classrooms.

If you are interested in volunteering, please respond to me, and I will get you signed up. Right now we still need 2 hostesses for the morning session and 1 for the afternoon.

Hostess
You will be asked to be a personal attendant to the speaker. You will assist them in anything needed: sitting with them in the classroom while the presentation is going on; helping pass out handouts, showing them to the bathroom, morning session hostess will walk with speaker to the lobby and get them settled in for lunch, afternoon session hostess will ask if the speakers needs any help transporting items to their cars, etc.
