It's time for me to beg a little--as of today's date, we have ZERO volunteers for any of the flag dates, and it's super critical to get coverage ASAP for Memorial Day and Flag Day---as those holidays will be here VERY soon. The funds earned with this project directly benefit our high school youth ministry opportunities.

To view the dates and slots available and to sign up to help, follow the link and complete the steps to sign up. The Memorial Day dates are top priority to get filled right now, but all slots are posted.
