We Always Need Volunteers
For the Race to the Park to be a successful fundraiser GreySave will need plenty of volunteers to help us pull off a greyt day! Specifically, if you are one of those people who can come early and help set up, stay late to help clear everything away and/or help with events during the day we need you. Or if you can help by selling raffle tickets, taking greyt pictures, working in a carnival booth or making yummy cookies for desert we also would love to hear from you. This is a big fundraiser! It takes quite a bit of planning and then on-site execution and your help will enable one or our hardworking committee members to take a break and enjoy the day along with everyone else. If you can help, please contact Judy our special events volunteer coordinator. We would really appreciate your help!
We Also Need Tasty Deserts

If you have a flair for making a special deserts and would like to share please contact Chuck or Jennifer DeGraffenreid and let them know what you will bring and share.
