Spring Fair Issue

April 20, 2012

Aloha!!!!

The Valley Forge Elementary Spring Fair is coming soon on Friday, May 4th from 5 - 8pm. We have a fun night planned with games, inflatables, entertainment, a super raffle and yummy food all for a great family night out. As you know, it takes a lot of volunteers to park cars, run games, serve dinner, pull raffles, and streak hair... just to name a few. We would love to have at least one volunteer from every family sign up for a volunteer shift. Please take a minute to complete the attached form and return to the office to Joann Mayo/Spring Fair Volunteer Chair's attention.

Don't forget to channel your inner cake boss and sign up to bring a cake or baked item for the Cake Walk! You can sign up when you complete the volunteer form.

Please direct any questions to Joann Mayo (610) 341-9726 or email joann.t.mayo@gmail.com
