Volunteers are needed for the UBC Botanical Garden's Annual Apple Festival on October 13th and 14th, 2012. This is a great family event at the Garden requiring people to sell apples and apple products, offer tasting samples, helping in the Children's areas and many other volunteer opportunities.

Three hour shifts 10:30 - 1:30 and 1:15 - 4:15 are available on each day. We also need help setting-up on Friday, October 12th. For further information please contact Claudia Craig at claudiacraig@telus.net . We'd love to have you join us at the great event!

Thank you,

Claudi Craig
