Save the Date HARRA's Party in the Park - Aug 8   Volunteers needed! ­

From Kathi:  The Party in the park is on Saturday Aug 8th from 7-10AM. Tent setup is at 5:30AM.  BCRR for tent space 12b ( as seen on the attached map). Importantly, it is close to the beer tent.  I (Kathis) will be there to promote, but we need other volunteers to man the tent too, which is why I'm writing now. It would be good to have at least 3 people at the tent at all times. We can work in shifts of 1 hour each. Please email  mahonmobile54@gmail.com if you can help.
