PARKING VOLUNTEERS
We urgently need volunteers to cover the parking lot on Ice Caps game nights. This fundraiser has raised over $5,000.00 for the church and the outreach centre in three months last fall. It is anticipated that over the winter schedule an additional $7,000.00 will be realized.
The problem simply stated is this, we have only had assistance from 12 volunteers which meant that these people have had to work the parking lot every third game or at least twice during a home stand.
I WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER FOR THE PARKING LOT
