“Kite Day”

Kite Day Volunteer Opportunities

The EWCCC Kite Day is Saturday, May 25

2 pm to 5 pm

The event takes place on Main Beach, just east of the Main Beach Pavilion.

The event is open to all kids.

Participants will sign in, purchase a kite ($10) and go fly it!

(Accommodation will be made for those kids for whom payment is a problem)

Volunteers will be on hand to help kids who do not know how to fly a kite.

St. Luke’s has offered to provide volunteers for this fun day.

EWCCC staff will be available to “show you what to do.”

Volunteers are needed as follows:

• Kite assembly – Wednesday and Thursday preceding.
• Volunteers will go to the EWCCC to pre-assemble kites for the Saturday event.
• Volunteers must sign up for this (security) but can then go whenever is convenient for them on one of those two days.
•  
• Set-up – day of event (1pm)
• Volunteers will help set up tables and otherwise help set up.
• This will involve some lifting tables and other things of some weight.
•  
• Crowd control – day-of-event (1:30 pm – 3 pm)
• Volunteers will guide participants from the parking area to the event.
• Parking will be provided near the Pavilion area and participants will walk to the beach area.
