Why not give them a call and see if they could use YOUR help? If not, you are encouraged to call Linda Citak, Personnel Chairperson, 265-6907 or encourage THEM to call Linda.
ATTENTION ALL BAZAAR CHAIRPERSONS, BOOTH CAPTAINS- If someone approaches you, and you are not in need of their help, suggest they call Linda. As a matter of fact why not call Linda yourself???

If working in a booth, food or game, is not “your thing” why not give Mike a hand working “back stage”.
