For the 50th weekend we will all need to 'lean in' a little bit to make it an amazing weekend to remember! Please see some of the main jobs that we will need volunteers for. It would be great if members could volunteer up front (by replying to this post) so that we are not chasing around too much over the weekend or overusing the good will of the 'willing few'. Remember, "Many hands make light work".
Thanks in anticipation.
