RAH VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR
WATERFRONT FESTIVAL JUNE 7-8!

The Marquette Neighborhood Association "season opener" is coming up soon! This year the always hoppin' Marquette Waterfront Festival will be held at Yahara Park on June 7-8. Once again, our Recyling Away from Home program will provide recyling containers and will haul garbage and recyclables in order to minimize the landfill load that this festival could potentially create.
 
Volunteers are needed for set up on Saturday morning, throughout the day Saturday and Sunday, and to break down Sunday evening. Shifts are 3 hours each, and within each shift there is usually ample time to also enjoy the festival. Duties include a minimal amount of sorting, but mostly checking and replacing bags, and hauling bags to the pick-up spot nearby.
 
Saturday June 7: set up 9-11 (2 volunteers)
                          11-2 pm     (1-2)
                          2-5             (3)
                          5-8             (4)

Sunday June 8  10-1            (1-2)
                          1-4 is covered
                          4-8            (4, or can split this shift if we have enough volunteers)
