Volunteers Needed! 🙂 Get some fresh air and meet Irish people (others too) who are enjoying the holiday!
You’ll be greeting people entering the parking lot, asking for $5 for parking in the lot and handing them an
Ulster Project postcard. Two people are needed for each of the five time shifts at each of the five parking lots.
Please respond to Cathi Lowry, joca.lowry@gmail.com if you know you can commit. (You do not need to
specify your time slot if you are unsure now; just knowing you will be able to contribute will be great! You
could work all day, two shifts or even one hour–anytime would be greatly appreciated.) Note: teens are
encouraged to volunteer for a shift but should be paired with an adult. Thanks!

Shifts:
10:00 am – 12:00 noon (catching the “Kegs ‘n Eggs” crowd who hit the pubs at breakfast)
12:00 noon – 2:00 pm
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
(Five parking lots; two people needed for each lot for each shift)
