Volunteers for Halloween Party

Halloween Volunteers Needed!

Have you ever planned a kids’ party? Then you have just the skills we need!

The Annual Champlain Park Halloween Kids’ Party needs an adult organizer and a group of volunteers to help out.

It’s easy, it’s fun and it’s a great way to meet all your neighbourhood ghoulies and ghosties! The time commitment is minimal and the benefit to your community is enormous.

(psst – all you high school students take note – this is a great way to gain your volunteer hours too!)

If you are interested in leading in organizing the party, volunteering to be part of a committee of organizers, or willing to help out with baking or running activities please contact Carol Arnason at carol.arnason@ocsb.ca.
