Please Help!
A.L.P.A.C.A. has the opportunity to provide a fun community service for Athens area young families. On Saturday, May 7, 2011, we have agreed to run a kids arts table at the Birth Circle Pregnancy and Baby Fair. It will be held at the Market on State from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. We plan to help kids make Mother's Day cards. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to give back to the community that helps keep us doing what we do! It is a short day - only 5 hours and you can volunteer for whatever amount of time you have available. ALPACA will provide the craft supplies. We just need the volunteers to work with the kids.
Please seriously consider helping out for whatever amount of time you have available on that Saturday! This is an easy and fun way to give back!
Please email me if you can help!
Many thanks,
Kirsten Trachsel
Vice-President - ALPACA
