STILL NEED A FEW GOOD PEOPLE….
To volunteer with installation and providing on-site volunteer assistance during the 10 days. If you have some spare time – especially in the next three days during the daytime, drop us a line and let us know. We can put you to work lifting & hammering stuff or walking the street connecting with the people in the walk.
See you on the Danforth!
Exellent work.
Well said.
I will be back to check some more new info.
Thank you,
Marko
