FROM AFTER GRAD PARENT COMMITTEE
The Big Day is a month away! We still have some volunteer spaces to fill. They include:
- Decorating! The decorating crew could use a few more volunteers to help with decorating and taking down the decorations at the end of the night.
- Roaming photographer. Do you have a decent camera and want to put it to use? We could use one or two people to wander around and take pictures of everyone having fun.
- Bus riders. We still need 2 more adults to ride with students from UVic to the Keating Coop gas station.
To see all the volunteer positions still available, please go to https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4EA5A922A7FAC07-52091808-stellys
The next planning meeting is June 3rd, 6:30pm on the family side at Brewsky's. All Grad parents are welcome.
