Lowell Home Show Volunteer Sign Up

The Lowell Winter Guards, Exit 52 and Almost Home, will be hosting a Winter Guard and Drum Line Competition on Saturday, February 21, 2009 at Lowell High School.

There are a lot of jobs that need to be filled for the day. The event should run from roughly 3:00-10:00. I am willing to split shifts if you can only work part of the day. Just let me know when you are available and I’ll make it work. Most of the jobs are pretty low stress but require a responsible adult. If you are interested in helping out please let me know. You may sign up one of three ways:
1) Return a paper to Mrs. Mac with the volunteer information (Name, email, phone)
2) Sign up at
http://exit52.pbwiki.com/ (Click the Home Show Volunteer Sign Up link)
3) Email me at
exit-52@hotmail.com with volunteer information. (Name, email, phone)

Due to the scope and size of the event we are hosting on February 21. Each member of Exit 52 and Almost Home is required to provide at least one adult volunteer the day of the event. If you have any friends or relatives who would be willing to work at our event please don’t hesitate to ask them as well.
We are short about 25 volunteers at this point so we really need help and we need it fast!
