Your Funfair Needs You!

by

Image result for fair

As we start making arrangements for the 2017 Roden Funfair, we need a team of enthusiastic volunteers to make sure the event goes ahead.

Roles include booking food vendors, face painters, organizing games and rentals, liaising with sponsors, arranging prizes… There’s plenty to do, but with your support, we know we can do it!

Although we’ll try to get together a couple of times, most of the commitment can be done on your schedule. Absolutely no experience necessary.

Please email funfair@roden.ca if you are able to help!
