The Carnival Committee is still looking for a few more volunteers to help with the upfront planning. Specifically we are looking for a Food Co-Chair and a Games Co-Chair. (We already have one volunteer in each position, so you would be working with someone.) We are also looking for volunteers to help our Silent Auction/Donations Committee. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Betsy Rinehart at betsyrinehart@cinci.rr.com or Kristy Felss at kfelss@cinci.rr.com for more information about these roles.
