It is that time again.  Are we ready to help our currently projected attendance of 3500 handicapped children at Morgan's Wonderland on Halloween evening

The doors will open this year at 4:30pm.  The volunteer sessions will be from 4:30p-6:30p and 6:30p-8:30p.  Please arrive at the Park at least 20 minutes before your shift starts.  We will put 2 adults at each table (we have 11 tables) along with 1  Interact Volunteer for each shift.  I will need 22 Adults to Volunteer for each shift to man the tables.  I will also need 2 Volunteers for each shift at the Volunteer Sign-In table at the front door. 
 
Our Interact Groups and Mike Canales will take charge this year and make it the BEST year ever.  I will set up two (2) hour sessions for volunteers.  I will need you to do the following:
