Upcoming Community Service .... by Jay  Volunteers NeededEastern Farm Workers Association Back-to-School Project: On Friday August 27th and Saturday August 28th the EFWA is sorting back-to-school supplies into backpacks to give to their member’s children. We are looking for volunteers on the 27th for two shifts: 10 to noon and then noon to 2. Then the morning of the 28th between 10 and noon. They will be sorting and packing all day the 27th and packing and delivering into the afternoon of the 28th so if you are interested but the times I mentioned do not work you can still get involved. The location for the event is First Unitarian Universalist Society 109 Warning Rd Syracuse, NY 13224. Please RSVP by contacting me (315-209-0753 or jstith@healthstrategyassoc.com). As this location is out of town please also mention if you are looking to carpool and if you would mind being a driver in addition to what shift you are free to work. Duck Dash: Saturday September 25th On Saturday September 25th the Chamber of Commerce, YMCA, and other local non-profits are hosting Duck Dash between 2 and 4pm behind the CVS in the Village. The event consists of games for kids, food, drinks, and several duck races where people throw plastic ducks into the creek and see whose duck is fastest – it is geared toward kids, and younger families, and grandparents but anyone is welcome. Volunteer opportunities include set up/clean up, ticket sorting, and 3 to 5 people calling the race finishes from in the creek. If you are interested please contact me so I can give the organizers a sense of how many people we will have to help (315-209-0753 or jstith@healthstrategyassoc.com). |
