GALA VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED
Volunteers are what keeps the DNPA up and running and supporting our school and community. The Gala fundraiser is a big part of our fundraising goals this year, and is put together completely by volunteers from the Duck’s Nest community.We have a great crew to get us started, but we still need your help! This year we are using VolunteerSpot to manage the list of roles, jobs and tasks that you can sign up for. We hope you can sign up for a role that best suits you and your family.
Here’s our VolunteerSpot link: http://vols.pt/oWuvfG.
With that said, we currently need help soliciting auction items! If you can, please join us this Wednesday, March 16th from 5:45-7pm for a Gala DNPA meeting. We will be making lists and sending out requests to local businesses and we need your help! This meeting will be a task filled evening with lots to do!

OTHER UPCOMING EVENTS
DINNER-TO-GO SALE: Wed, 3/23 4:15-5:30pm, inside the front gate
Would you love to have a night (or two!) off from cooking while still providing your family with a lovingly prepared, home-cooked, healthy meal? Many of the dishes will be freezer-friendly, so you can save it for a rainy day (ha ha). Dinners will be priced between $6 and $9 per serving (for example, $36-$54 for a 6-serving dish), depending on ingredients and difficulty.
How Can You Participate?
Buy a Dinner
We can accept cash, checks (made out to DNPA), or credit cards.
