RAGRBRAI VOLUNTEERS UPDATE

Please check the RABRAI worksheet at the window of the church office to see if the time schedule for you is correct.  Know that when working, sandals cannot be worn and shirts must have sleeves.  We will furnish hairnets and plastic gloves.  Also, check the job assigned.  If it is something that you don’t feel you can do, please let Kay Jensen, Dona Otto, or Pat Haning know so that it can be changed before that day.  Some have asked if they can come during the day even though they have not signed up and that is fine as we will have tasks occur that we can fit you in to.  We have had a good response for pie donations and should have plenty.  Thanks to everyone for your willingness to help and contribute in all the ways that will make this day a success.
