MEDWAY PRIDE DAY

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED.

 

Volunteers are needed now to help plan and run this year's Medway Pride Day. This community event is scheduled for Saturday, May 19th from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Medway Middle School's Charland Field on Holliston Street. As it has for the past two decades, Medway Pride Day will feature many exciting games and carnival activities for the kids and dozens of booths showcasing local businesses and organizations. Crafters and collectable vendors will display unique items for sale.

Volunteers to organize games, stage and field entertainment, raffle buttons and t-shirt sales are needed. Anyone interested in stepping up to chair the Pride Day Committee is welcome. In the past, Medway residents and Medway Business Council members have donated their time to make Pride Day a success. Some of the volunteers who have been on the committee for more than a decade will not be returning this year. This is a great opportunity for new volunteers to share their creative ideas that will appeal to families and businesses in the area and keep Medway Pride Day going strong for years to come. If you are interested in helping with this community event, we need your input today.

Businesses that participate in Pride Day appreciate the opportunity to showcase products and generate sales, while they show their pride in the local community. Everyone who volunteers will take pleasure in seeing smiles on the children's faces as they enjoy the musical entertainment, face painting, hair braiding and the infamous obstacle course! Please help Medway Pride Day Committee to keep this wonderful tradition going. Volunteer Today!

If you are involved with a local youth group and looking for creative ways to raise money, volunteer your members to staff the children's carnival games and activities at Medway Pride Day. Funds raised at Medway Pride Day Committee are donated to non-profit groups, such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and other youth groups who volunteer to help out on the day of the event. It's a great way to raise extra money and have a great time.

Be sure to attend the Medway Pride Day planning meeting scheduled for Monday, February 6th at 7:00 PM at Mickee Cassidy's Irish Restaurant and Public House, 116 Main Street/Route 109 in Medway. Please join us and bring a friend or neighbor! If you or someone you know would like to be part of the Pride Day committee, but cannot attend the meeting, please contact Brenda Wenzel at 508-533-3007 or brendawenzel@comcast.net
