Viking Hut
Please email our volunteer coordinator, Whitney Devine cwdevine57@gmail.com, if you can help in the Viking Hut one day a week or once a month. The Hut had to be closed three days this week because we were short on helpers. Whitney will pass all the names along to Cathi Hervey who is our Viking Hut chair. It's an easy job and a great way to be involved without "embarrassing" your middle schooler!
