Hello everyone,
I am looking for scouts to participate in a volunteer service project for a non profit environmental agency, the Middlesex Conservation District. Twice a year we hold plant sales to raise money for conservation programs. We need scouts to help our customers load bags of compost into their cars (our customers and regular volunteers tend to be older, we need some younger, stronger assistants!)
I apologize for the late notice on this event. I had thought this had been put on the troop calendar but apparently it slipped through the cracks, and I really need to scramble to arrange volunteers, so I’m hoping some of you can help out.
Event: Middlesex Conservation District Plant Sale
When: Friday April 28 (3-6 pm) and Saturday April 29 (8am – 12noon).
Where: 4H Fairgrounds, South Chelmsford Rd, Westford, MA.
Compensation: All the doughnuts you can eat. Really.
You can volunteer for either day. We can probably use four scouts per day, although two could manage. I realize this is the same weekend as the trip to Hudson, but I’m hoping some of you who aren’t going on that trip, or who could make it on Friday, can help us out. Please note – the compost is bagged, is not smelly or messy, and we really need volunteers!!!
Please let me know as soon as possible. I can be reached via email at fgilles02420 -at- yahoo -dot- com
Thank you,
