Volunteers are needed to represent GNPS at the Southeastern Flower Show, Wednesday, January 28, through Sunday, February 1. Volunteers will greet the public and answer any questions regarding Georgia Native Plant Society. There are three shifts per day except Sunday, which has two shifts (morning and afternoon). The shifts are 10:00am to 1:00pm (morning); 1:00pm to 4:00pm (afternoon) and 4:00pm to 7:00pm (evening). We are allowed 2 volunteers per shift. Volunteers receive free admission and may see the show before or after their shift. Volunteers may also split their shift to see the show during their volunteer time. If we are able to get two volunteers, they will be able to split the shift and see the show during their volunteer time. (This is a great perk!) The show will be held at the Galleria in Cobb County.
We especially need volunteers for the evening shifts. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Vann Gaskin Email: jdg042854@bellsouth.net. Thank you for kindly considering this opportunity.
