Cancellation Policy:

Community organizations depend on us to provide the number of volunteers that we have committed to provide for our projects. If you need to cancel your participation in this event, please contact the event host immediately.

Additional Information:

We are suggesting helping in the Carnival Zone, from 10am to 2pm as the activity likely to have the broadest appeal.  However, you are welcome to volunteer for any of the available activities and join us for networking before or after the mid-day work time.

If more PMISV members register for the Cattle Corral than for the Carnival Zone, your fearless leader will negotiate to join you for hay baling and cow milking.
