Pan-O-Prog Seeking Volunteers to Help July 6-7

Organizers are seeking volunteers to help during a number of shifts next weekend.

The following is an email from David Barres, Pan-O-Prog's volunteer coordinator:

I am the Pan-O-Prog volunteer coordinator and I ask for your assistance. We have had an excellent volunteer response to our Festival but we are short of people on Friday, July 6 and Saturday, July 7.

I have the following shifts available and really need your help in finding people so we can have a terrific event. Volunteers will receive a really nice volunteer t-shirt or you can wear your company logo shirt (free advertising). The best thing is you get the peace of mind in knowing you helped your community festival!

Thanks for your help!
