Good afternoon VFW Group Leaders,

This is just a reminder the deadline to sign up for your groups for Wine & Brew Fest on April 11th. We have a significant number of groups who either have no one signed up or only one or two. Just a reminder that any spots not filled by March 15th will be transferred to other groups/individuals as I have a wait list of folks waiting for a volunteer spot.

If your group will NOT be volunteering for Wine Fest, please let me know now so I can move spots to another group.

Signup deadline March 15th:

To sign up for a spot with your group, scroll down this page to light blue box and find the "Sign-Up Logo" for a specific fest. Click on the SignUp logo and then find your group and pick a spot.

We're not a meteorologist, but it looks perfect outside to spend the weekend in Smithfield ... Not a flake in sight.
