    Annual Art Auction to return in 2010
 

   FLT Exhibit Booth* appearances at local fairs and festivals—we have a display we 
        would like to
have at local fairs and festivals.  We need volunteers willing to pick up the
        parts of the booth (a display board, handouts, lightweight table, and tent if for an 
       
outdoor event), set them up, oversee the exhibit during the event, and return the
        materials back  to the land trust office .

                      Other—I would like to put up the FLT display during my Town’s special

                           event.

    Stewardship—trail clearing/maintenance, invasive species management, etc.—as   
         needed working
with our Land Protection and Stewardship staff.

      FLT Local Products Gift Baskets — we need a team of volunteers to organize a
        FLT Gift Basket
to sell out of our storefront and our Exhibit Booth as a fundraiser. 
         
This would be an ongoing activity
to ensure we have a supply throughout the year.

 

I have special talents for which I can offer my volunteer services : (for example, I love to maintain websites, I’m good at marketing, I’m a birder, geologist or naturalist and I’d enjoy leading a hike….)
