COMMUNITY EVENTS: We staff booths at the County and State Fairs, farmer's markets and local festivals. We also participate in various parades and other community events to raise our visibility, recruit volunteers and promote our agenda.

OFFICE: We need people to staff the office. Volunteers answer phones, greet visitors, help with WCD Committees' projects, as well as a variety of other activities. The office is not always busy, but our presence is always important.
