Volunteers to help with chalk art contest
Volunteers needed for Highline Garden Tour
Highline Historical Society
Date: 6/9/2012 (but sign up now to volunteer!)
The annual Highline Garden Tour is happening on Saturday, June 9, from 10 AM – 5 PM. It will feature wonderful gardens in Burien, SeaTac, and Normandy Park, and a series of new rain gardens in Seahurst.
The Highline Historical Society needs volunteers to help pull the whole thing off — if you are willing to help for three hours that day, the Society can offer you a free Garden Tour ticket in exchange for your donation of time. Shifts run as follows: 9:30-12:30, 12-3, 2:30-5:30.
In addition, there will be a mandatory volunteer orientation prior to the Tour. There will be two identical sessions — you can pick the time that would be most convenient for you: Saturday, June 2, 10 AM or Monday, June 4, 7 PM.
The orientation will be held at the Historical Society’s Collections Facility, located at the former Seattle Christian School, 19800 28th Avenue S, in SeaTac. The meeting will last 30-45 minutes. This is where Garden Tour assignments and Garden Tour tickets are handed out.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Barbara McMichael, 206-878-6912 or bkmonger@nwlink.com
