Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center to hold annual Autumn Festival Oct.17

 

Youths sought to park cars at Ansonia Nature Center Autumn Fest

Here's a Great Opportunity for Youth Volunteers!

This is Ranger Dan with exciting news.

I have an opportunity for youth volunteers who were too late for signing up (things filled up fast for the student volunteers).

We have parking duties split into two shifts so that all of the parking volunteers can enjoy either the first part or the latter part of the festival.

This is where a chance for your youth volunteers has opened up: minors ages 12 - 17 who have one parent who will accompany them to volunteer specifically for parking duties are invited to fill out the form that I will be sharing in this email. (If a student has already signed up to volunteer, they cannot fill out this form as well because I am already working on their placement.)

Parent/youth duos who will commit to one of the two shifts are to fill out the form, which can be found by clicking HERE.

This is Great News for those who want to be a part of what we do here at the Ansonia Nature Center. If you have questions, reach out to me here: 203-736-1053.

Sincerely,

Ranger Dan
