Sunday, August 30 at 10:15 AM
* Help us move tables and get the space ready before we install our portable dance floor.

Monday, August 31 — Morning
* We need one more volunteer to help return the portable flooring to Bethesda Lutheran Church in Mountlake Terrace and unload it. Email [email protected] and let us know what time you’re available.

🎶 And help us build the playlist!
