The North Country Spouses Club and the Volunteer Support Fund will be hosting their 22nd
Annual Craft and Antique Fair on Saturday, November 17th 2012 from 10:00am - 4:00pm at
the Monti Physical Fitness Center. Not only would they like to invite you to attend, but they
are seeking volunteers to help work with children between 3-12 years old while the parents
shop. All volunteers must be VCCUS trained, but the organization is willing to host a training
prior to the event for any of those interested.
Volunteer's will not only be assisting with the supervision of the children or helping them with
a Holiday craft, but the Fair will be a great way to get a jump start on that Holiday shopping
list! If you are interested in finding out more about this volunteer opportunity please contact
Alison Fisher at scfd.craftfair@gmail.com
Thanks for supporting this event, and we hope to see you there.
