5th Annual Halloween Costume Fashion Show help needed

by Newsletter Comment Closed

The Raptor Library will be hosting it’s insanely popular Halloween Costume Fashion Show on Friday, 10/31, and Ms. Switek could use some help. Set up and clean up will entail moving lots of tables and chairs to create a “runway” and working the event itself could mean handing out candy to participants and signing them in.

Check out the SignUpGenius if you’ve got time to help: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040845A8A722AAFA7-59696644-halloween
