Volunteers Needed for the Butterfly Release
It's hard to believe it almost time for the butterfly release. Many hands are needed to make this magical day happen. Welcome Friends!
Volunteers are needed to help make our lovely butterfly wands. It is a simple process, but we need #200-250 wands to accommodate our butterflies. A wand making workshop is being planned for the first week of August (4 - 7th)
On Friday August 7th we need FRESH FLOWERS to add to our already made butterfly wands. Do you have flowers blooming in your garden? Please donate them to the Garden Council on the day-before the butterfly release. People will be in the workshop - so feel free to pop over and drop-off your fresh flowers.
The day of the butterfly release, Volunters are needed to help check in guests, to sell butterfly wands, distribute butterflies – And MUCH MORE. Please call the office to sign-up to volunteer (724) 837 0245
VOLUNTEERS - HELPERS ARE NEEDED FOR MANY TASKS including set-up, clean-up and more. Volunteer Sign-up is available at the WGC office Tuesday & Thursdays 10 – 3 PM (724) 837 0245
Garden Annex and Pavilion - Garden Helpers Needed
We are delighted by the new gazebo and expansion to the butterfly garden, but it requires extra help this year to get the new area planted. Please stop by the garden anytime to enjoy it, and consider pulling a weed or two, watering or doing any of the tasks listed.
This year with the new garden annex WGC urgently needs more than the few regular helpers. Helpers are usually in the garden Tuesday and Thursday between 10 AM - 2PM for info and advice. If you can lend a hand and help for an hour or two, please consider showing up! We really need the extra hands and ALL Helpers are very much appreciated. All are welcome!
With your help the garden will be ready for the JULY GRAND Re-OPENING and the Butterfly Release in August.
For info on holding your event in the garden please call WGC.
Raffle Baskets needed for Events
Here at WGC we take great delight in offering beautiful raffle baskets at several of our annual events. This is a fund raiser that helps with our rent and many other expenses incurred during the year.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to donate a basket. Whether you make a basket yourself - or bring in items for us to make the basket for you. We greatly appreciate it! WGC also takes donations on miscellaneous items that we put together for a new basket.
This year we need baskets for the ANNUAL MEETING OUT and an upcoming CHRISTMAS EVENT.
PLEASE consider donating a basket – or items for the basket raffle, so WGC can offer our guests – tables full of a spectacular array of winning items!
For info or to donate please call WGC.
