HOT CHOCOLATE NIGHT SET UP HELP

Parents we are in need of
DESPERATE HELP with setting up Hot Chocolate Nights. Marlene
Clement, our HCN coordinator, cannot set up HCN all by
herself. Unfortunately she has been the only one there to set up
the past month. If you are a Junior, Junior 2 or Senior Group
parent, please stay for 15 min after you drop you kid off and help
set up tables and hot water containers. Dom Matteo has volunteered
to help out today.
