NEW HOLIDAY PROGRAM - CFCL Christmas Store
We have been asked to help out with a new holiday program down at the Center for Changing Lives (CFCL).

We would collect the items, set up the display and find volunteers to help shoppers during the event. We are currently looking for a team of individuals that would be ON FIRE for this project and help us get the word out to the congregation. Please email Sandy Olson at solson@standrewlu.org if you are interested.

Volunteers are needed in shifts from about 7:45am until approximately 2:30pm. The desire is to have about 2 -3 hour shifts. One or two adult volunteers would work best. Children would be allowed, but not very young kids as this is a kitchen setting. Kaleidoscope will provide some teenage help with serving and clean up. Volunteers would also be expected to supervise this group as they work. The program runs from June 21, 2010 until August 12, 2010. Please contact Sandy Olson at solson@standrewlu.org to register.
