Are you excited for fall weather, changing leaves, and cozy scarves? How about pumpkin derbies, pie eating contests, and marshmallow shooters.
The Neighbor Network of Northern Nevada (N4), which serves the community as both a time exchange and volunteer coordinator, are recruiting volunteers to help out at one of Spark's most exciting festivals, PumpkinPalooza! It is a one day, Halloween-themed event that takes place in Victorian Square (Sparks, NV). PumpkinPalooza is the biggest fundraiser of the year for our partner organization, Northern Nevada Center for Independent Living (NNCIL). NNCIL is a nonprofit that serves individuals with disabilities, helping them to hone skills they need in order to lead healthy and self-sufficient lives. PumpkinPalooza is their annual Halloween-themed, family-friendly extravaganza!15,000 people came to the festival last year and it was a 'Featured Fall Event’ in Food Network magazine. This year we need 300 volunteers so we are reaching out to community-minded people (like you!) that may be interested in participating or volunteering.
We have tons of different activities, shifts, and time slots available for you to reserve on our sign up page. The activities are all super creative and fun! Please notice that our afternoon shifts could use the most volunteers. Your help with any shift, however, would be greatly appreciated. I encourage you to pass this information on to your family and friends, too! Also, every person who volunteers will be entered into a raffle to win $50.
If you're interested, go to pumpkinpalooza.org for more information and sign up to volunteer here: https://www. signupgenius.com/go/ 10c0944a5ac29aaf85-pumpkin6.

Mission Statement
The N4 village connects people living in Northern Nevada for inclusive, community-based services, volunteer opportunities, and affordable transportation.
Description
By valuing the assets and gifts of each community member and organization, N4 is shaping the culture in Northern Nevada to ensure everyone has full community access. N4’s current programs include:
- Community Care provides people with disabilities and older adults in-home and community-focused services that increase engagement by using a person/family-centered approach to care planning. Types of services offered include respite services for family care partners, companion services, personal care, social, recreational and educational activities, and information and referral to community resources.
- N4 Connect helps people with disabilities and adults over 60 access affordable supplemental transportation with a 50% discount on Lyft rides. N4 Connect members may receive up to $160 worth of Lyft rides per person each month and have the option of learning how to use Lyft with their personal smartphone, or by contacting the N4 office to schedule a concierge Lyft ride, if they do not own a smartphone. Coming January 2020, N4 will provide wheelchair accessible transportation in the N4 Connect program using a new 12-passenger van.
- Time Exchange is a way for people to give and receive services without exchanging money.
- Volunteer Village builds partnerships with local organizations so N4 members can opt into the volunteer pool without enrolling in the time exchange.
