Can You Help?

Volunteers are Needed

The running of the picnic requires lots of person-power. Volunteers are needed to help with set-up and tear down as well as to staff the event. If you have time to give, even as little as an hour, every little bit counts! If you have several hours (or days) to assist us, you might just make our Greyhound Volunteer Hall of Fame! Either way, please contact Mary Lou at:

finiganm@comcast.net

At this time, we are also looking for donations of items,

greyhound related or not, for the raffle and silent auction. If you have items to donate to the fund raising, contact Mary Lou .... 541-688-1406
