2013 Street Scenes Seeks Volunteers<br />

Work is underway for the planning of this year’s Street Scenes event, which will be held on Friday and Saturday,<br />

February 8th and 9th, 2013. In part, the success of the event depends on volunteer assistance and at this time we<br />

are looking for people wanting to get involved with the planning and organization for this event. If<br />

you are a new freshman parent, it truly is a great way to get to meet other <strong>Carmel</strong> parents. You can get involved as<br />

much or as little as you choose.<br />

Please consider helping out by contacting the Volunteer Director, at StreetScenesVolunteer@gmail.com<br />
