Our Craft Fair is coming up on Saturday, November 21, and we're looking for a few more volunteer greeters!

Greeters welcome everyone as they come through the door. The fair runs 10:30am to 3pm, so shifts start a little before and wrap up a little after. We'd love it if you can give us 2 hours or more. T-shirts provided.

Interested? Email Amanda at [email protected] so we can get you on the schedule.

There are lots of great books from our Book Sale on our Lobby shelves, many published very recently and all in great condition. What a great place to do some early Christmas shopping. You might find just the right book for just the right person.
