Can you assist? Volunteers Needed for October 17th Party in the Park

A small group of neighbours have been working on plans for a community 'Party in the Park' celebration on October 17th, but we need your help with:
- postering and distributing leaflets to publicize the event
- canvassing local merchants for donations of gift certificates or prizes
- transporting 2 barbeques to and from the park
- site set-up and/or take down on Sunday morning and evening
- finding a large tent or tarp in case it rains (these are extremely expensive to rent, so if anyone knows someone who may be willing to donate it for the day, it would be ideal)
- a small stage with risers
- food preparation and service during the event (ideally people with food service experience)
- identifying volunteers to participate in our first 'Adopt-our-Park' activity, carrying and spreading wood-chips to shrubbery beds throughout the park; we need people to bring buckets, rakes and wheel-barrows on the 17th.

If you are willing to assist with any of the above, please send an email to caroline.krebs@gmail.com or call and leave a message at 654-4248.

P.S.  A big thanks to three area businesses who are supporting this event: Sobey's Northdale, The UPS Store and Video World (all on Henderson Highway)!
