Fall is full of great opportunities at CMoR!
October was a busy month for CMoR Volunteers! During the Richmond Folk Festival, over 120 volunteers came out over the 2 days to help make paper bag hats, puppets, and more! Our 9th annual Halloween Hoopla had over 4,500 guests in 4 hours, and it would not have been possible witout the 150 volunteers that helped hand out candy, paint pumpkins, manage the lines and more!
November is even busier for CMoR Volunteers! Read below for some exciting new features, and some great events where CMoR needs your help! |
