http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0b4fa8af2fa31-delaware

We need your help so please take a moment and check out the sign up and do your part and volunteer!  

Again, the Feis can't happen without the help of all the schools so it is vital that McAleer be well represented and that we do our part to make it a success.  If your dancer is entering then please consider doing your part and volunteer, even if it an hour, it is all greatly appreciated.  

There are many areas to consider but the areas that need the most help are Stage Building and Breakdown.  

And Beth Burke is overseeing the Trophy Room this year so let's get some volunteers in there to help her out.    

Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request.  Any questions regarding volunteering just let us know!

Wilmington Library Show (immediately following the Parade):
