Volunteer Opportunities: I have 27 potlatch t-shirts that need to be washed! I’m looking for 4 volunteers to take 8 shirts each to add to your laundry pile. No rush at all. Please email me if you can help us out! Thank you so much! We could also use one more volunteer for the first session of our next Museo Art Lesson on Monday March 23rd. The project is weaving, so it's a lot of hands on fun and we've been given the heads up that students could use a bit of extra help with materials!
