We are looking for volunteers to help at the Alumni Tent at Home Days on Friday, August 2 and Saturday, August 3! The gig is simple: greet people, have them sign the guestbook, give out alumni stickers, collect membership dues and sell raffle and brunch tickets. Two-hour shifts are available on Friday and Saturday. If all shifts are filled you can still come and help out as there’s always people to greet and memories to share!
