We have a fun opportunity to earn money for our school!  Just by going to the Corn Maze, we will earn $1.00 for every person through the gate.  (Actually, our school will earn 50 cents because the Region PTA was gracious enough to let us share the night with them.)

We need to provide 6 volunteers to help out at the corn maze.  Every volunteer gets a free t-shirt from the people at the maze!  What could be better than "Free Stuff!  Comment below if you are interested in volunteering.
