Help Needed

Hello wonderful community members,

We have a few community projects and events coming up that require a lot of volunteers and we are hoping that you can help us.

• Sunday April 19- Spring Community Clean Up

We are looking for volunteers to help us get the hall and rink areas in great shape for the summer months. We will begin at 10:30am and hope to be done by 1pm. Tasks on the list include tidying up the rink area, organizing and weeding and pruning at the hall and playground. Please bring work gloves, rakes and anything else you think may be handy. Lunch provided for volunteers. Please sign up here:

• Thursday May 7, Friday May 8 and Saturday May 9- Community Garage Sale

This event is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year and it takes many helpers in order to be successful. Volunteers on Thursday evening will be helping set up the tables in the hall. Volunteers on Friday will be helping community members unload donations from their cars and sorting them in the hall. Volunteers on Saturday will be helping with the sale and cleanup. Please email garage sale chairperson, Arlene, at arlenejelfs@googlemail.com if you are able to help.

• Saturday May 30- Rink Board Removal

Thanks to a generous grant from the Daryl K Seaman Hockey Fund at the Calgary Foundation, our beloved community rink is getting new boards! This will be an exciting, and much needed, functional and safety upgrade for year round rink use. But before that can happen, the old boards need to come down and we are looking for volunteers to help with that. Some notes:

• Please bring a drill with batteries/chargers (proper bits provided)

• Volunteers must be at least 15 years of age

• Lunch will be provide for volunteers (12-1pm)

• Shift 1 (9am-12:30pm), Shift 2 (12:30pm-4pm)

• The old arena boards will be for sale on a first come, first served basis. Please contact priddishockey@gmail.com to express your interest
