Purim Carnival Sunday, March 4 10 am-1 pm
|
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
The PTBE Purim Celebration and Carnival is scheduled for Sunday March 4 but the Carnival will only happen if we have volunteers. On Sunday morning March 4, we will celebrate the joyous holiday of Purim beginning at 10 am with Purim songs, hearing the
Megillah
, and see our clergy tell the Purim story as you've never heard it before. At 11 am, we'll enjoy food and fun carnival games. We need many other volunteers to help the day of the carnival so please sign up.
Here's how it works in 2 easy steps:
1. Click
this link
to go to our invitation page on SignUp Genius
2. Select the activity you want to volunteer for and enter your information (You will NOT need to register an account on SignUp Genius)
Note: SignUp Genius does not share your email address with anyone. If you prefer not to use your email address, please contact Kim to sign up manually.
We would love to see 5th and 6th Grade students volunteering to run games at the Purim Carnival with the help of at least 1 adult.
