Book Fair Volunteers NEEDED!

It’s time for the Irving Book Fair–Mon, Oct. 26 – Thurs. Oct. 29

We are looking for another great crew of volunteers this year! We need people for set up, stapling and collating flyers, supervising classroom visits, driving to Roselle to pick up a box of books from the warehouse each day, working public sales hours, watching volunteers’ kids on the playground, and packing up the sale. Even if you can only work an hour, we’d love to have you, especially at dismissal!
