VOLUNTEER CALL TO ACTION

There are lots of ingredients that go into a great gumbo, and the main one is you! We are looking for volunteers for the lunch and dinner service to help make this event a success.


We will be hosting an informational volunteer lunch on February 16th in Coleman Hall from 11:30am - 1pm. Please email Anna Catherine Soule to RSVP.
