The classes already have been booked for this year, but a coordinator (or two) is needed to take registrations, work with the class providers, etc.
Please contact
Diane Martin if you are interested in this volunteer position or would like additional information.

work from home position (of course you can also help out in the lunchroom as well if you'd like).
