11/22/2005: "Volunteer: Children's Festival Planning Committee"

The Children's Festival Committee is seeking 3-5 people to join existing members Mary Kate Panaro and Jan Bowinkle-Smith to plan this spectacular community event.

Become part of dynamic group that is now forming that will create the to 16th Annual Children's Festival. This day-long event celebrates island children on the first Saturday of May. Island Rec is the coordinating agency for this long-standing island tradition under the leadership of Recreation Director, Sally Kerr.


The committee organizes the day's activities, recruits sponsorship and volunteers and promotes the event. Committee members volunteer 8-10 hours during the months leading up to the event with hours increasing closer to the festival date of May 6. No special skills are necessary, other than a willingness and time to work as part of a group committed to creating a fun filled festival.

People interested in learning more about this volunteer opportunity should contact Sally Kerr at Island Rec at 378-4953 or email play@islandrec.org or speak with any of the other committee members.
