Volunteer Team for Thanksgiving Potluck

Volunteering at our Thanksgiving potluck on the Saturday of the Thanksgiving weekend is a great way to meet people and make new friends.

Most volunteer shifts at the event are just over one hour long. Volunteers get a free raffle ticket and get to eat first. While all attendees need to bring a dish for the potluck, volunteers do not need to pay an entrance donation.

Look through the list of roles. In the RSVP question, include your email address and your 1st & 2nd & 3rd choice of roles. (Only you and the hosts will see. The volunteer coordinator will contact you in September.) If you sign up to volunteer, please also sign up for the main event as well.
