FAMILILIES FIRST EVENT
MABL will be a sponsor and encourage members to volunteer at this year’s Families First event in conjunction with Ramsey County Bar Association. It’s a really fun event for both the participants and the volunteers. At the event each year, there are carnival games, face painting, moonwalk, etc. for kids to play outside. The families then come inside the school, where they are served a hearty lunch. During lunch, various dance groups perform. All families are given a bag of household goods to bring home. Door prizes are also given out.
The picnic goes from 11:00 to 1:00. Although we do have some volunteers arrive earlier to set up the games and lunch, our biggest need for volunteers is always from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm. During that time, volunteers are outside staffing the games or painting faces, or inside preparing and serving lunch.
Look for more information in the future. For now mark your calendars:
Saturday, July 14 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at John A. Johnson Elementary School, 740 York Avenue, St. Paul.
