We are asking volunteers to work in 2 hr time slots as anything less than this makes it difficult changing over people all the time. You will still have plenty of time to enjoy the day with your family. Please consider donating a couple of hours of your time to ensure a fun day for everyone. Stalls Cent Auction Books (12pm-2pm or 2pm-4pm) Trash & Treasure Face Painting Fete information Art Exhibition Crazy Hair Supersoaker (Only 1pm-2pm) Cake Shop

There are also many jobs that do not involve manning stalls. If you’d like to help out in other areas, then please put “parking and logistics”. Please complete the attached slip and return to your class teacher as soon as possible or email to fete@salc.qld. edu.au to enable rosters to be drawn up.
