Our pumpkins arrive October 2 at 9 am. We need all the help we can get to unload the truck when the pumpkins arrive, so please let us know you can help unload. All ages are welcome to help, as pumpkins come in different sizes. A COVID-friendly continental breakfast will be held beginning at 8 am in the Simpson Room. Please help make this the best year ever as we celebrate our 20th year. We are still looking for someone to help schedule volunteers and remind them of their shifts. Pam manages the online signup, but you will need a list of volunteers to contact if there is an opening. Lou Ann Scott and Diane Bartley, the current chairs, are looking for people to work with them this year and to step up as Pumpkin Patch chairs for next year (or will this be our last Pumpkin Patch?).
Pumpkin Patch 2021 Volunteer Schedule
When our Pumpkin Patch opens for customers on October 2, we need volunteers to run the Patch every day. There is no need to lift pumpkins at this beloved community event. We just need friendly faces. Please consider signing up for 2 (or more) hour shifts. Maybe even the same shift each week. Here's the link to volunteer to work at The Patch. To sign up, put a checkmark in the time(s) you can volunteer, click the “submit and sign up” button, add your name (email & phone are optional), and click on the “sign up now” button. It’s so easy! (We are using the free version, so you will see some ads) If you add your email address when signing up for a shift, you will automatically receive a reminder email a couple of days before your shift. If you want to change a time you signed up for, you can create an account and edit it yourself or contact Pam in the office or Diane Bartley.
This is our largest fundraiser, and in a year when many of our fundraisers have been cancelled, it's even more important. If you've never worked The Patch, volunteer with someone else to get on-the-job training or check with Diane or the office. Diane is happy to answer any questions you might have at 412-266-6113.
