Security/Hospitality Volunteers Needed:

The White Elephant Sale needs a few volunteers to welcome our many guests and to keep an eye on security. It requires no experience and actually is fun. It is an excellent opportunity to meet other volunteers and to serve St. James’ many outreach missions. Can you join this tradition at St. James by giving a few hours this year?

The three “shifts” this year are: [1] Friday Evening (August 23, 4:45-7:45 pm); [2] Saturday Morning (August 24, 8:45 am to 11:45 pm), [3] Saturday Afternoon (August 24, 11:30 to 2:30 pm).

If you can serve a shift or even part of a shift please contact Phil Roeder with an e-mail message at proeder@ucsd.edu or leave a voicemail message at (858) 453-9422.
