Blind Service Association is gearing up for an Annual Event to help us raise money for our Summer Program for Youth. This is a tag day event (canning) that we do under the umbrella of Children's Benefit League. It is a two day event. There is a lot of planning and details that go into making this event successful and we are looking for volunteers interested in helping us plan this whole event. Volunteers will be working with our Youth Program Manager. (Great opportunity to learn event planning!) The event takes place on April 12th and April 13th so we are anxious to get volunteers in place as soon as possible as there's a lot to be done in the next 12 weeks! We are asking for a minimum of two hours per week. We are located downtown in the loop at 17 N. State Street. Please e-mail Bill or call Debbie or Bill at 312-236-0808 for more info or to register to volunteer. You can make your own hours. Thanks so much and hope to hear from you soon.
