School Fair Plans Continue to Take Shape

We've decided to do general set-up for the August 4 Back-to-School Fair starting at 1:00 p.m. the day of the event. This would involve members of the 21st Time Class.

Other volunteers should feel free to drop in any time that afternoon to set-up their areas. Some areas will take more time than others. We'll expect guests by 4:30 p.m., so please be at the church by 4:00 at the latest. :)

Here's a breakdown of who is doing what:

Ryan Burrows and Leanne Howie will man the welcome table and work on getting families signed up for school supplies.

Doug and Kelly Delaplane will head up the kitchen with assistance from Lorna Geist.

Melissa King, Monet Howe, Andrea Wagner, and Alex Howie will work in the nursery.

Tiffany Koehn and team will take care of the dental room. Tiffany will also remind Bertha of her role.

I've scheduled Kelvin and Donna Heitmann for our church table, but I am working to get volunteers to free them up for other jobs: Kelvin taking photos and Donna working in the kitchen.

Lynn Koehn will man the personal hygiene table.

I plan to ask Jose Olivas to be on hand to work in the MAM room.

Danelle Groth and Cathy Gardner will work in photography.

Michelle Miller (and/or someone else from HS CO Health) will work a table.

Stacey King will work the book fair. Ron Lucas and the Gideons will also be on hand in the book room.

Mendy Howe and a representative form Russell Child Development will set up a table for information and do an activity.

Karen Burrows, Brent Howie, and Chris Gardner will take care of games in the park/information on combating childhood obesity. Kristin Penner and Lacey Noterman may work in this area as well.

Our goal is to serve 100 children and their families, so we've been working on a total number of guests that might exceed 300.

Please keep in mind that we've scheduled a pool party on August 5 at 6:00 p.m. to reward ourselves. An hour of swimming at the city pool will be followed by a potluck picnic at Ryan and Karen's house.
