Tell them why you support Annapolis Green, put them in touch with us and we'll do the rest.We also welcome corporate volunteers who can help us with set-up and break-down at REF events. A REF event could be a great team-building initiative for your company.
Together, let's turn the tide and make this Festival Season a Green one!
