🇺🇸 WE NEED YOUR HELP, INDEPENDENCE TOWNSHIP! 🇺🇸Independence Township is planning a FREE, family-friendly Celebration Day & Community Picnic on Saturday, September 26th at Independence Township Community Park - and we want to make it a day everyone in our community can enjoy together! 🎉But there’s one BIG thing we need before we can make it happen…👉 VOLUNTEERS!With less than a month to go, we need community members willing to help plan, organize and run the event. This can be as much or as little as you’re able to give, and you can lend a hand in the area that interests you.We need help with things like:🍔 Food & drinks🎯 Yard games🎈 Kids’ activities🚗 Parking & traffic🪑 Event setup🧹 Cleanup📋 Planning & organizing…and more!You don’t have to commit to doing everything. If you can take ownership of one small part of the day—or simply lend a hand wherever needed—we would LOVE to have you involved!❤️ The township is providing the food, free admission and activities, but we need volunteers to help make it all happen.⚠️ If we don’t have enough volunteers, we may not be able to hold the event.*We know this is scheduled on the same day as Extreme Bull Riding, an evening event scheduled for Sept 26th at Little A Town Arena, but our picnic will be very early in the day, so members of our community will be able to enjoy both of these events!So if you’d like to help make this FREE community celebration a reality, please call the Independence Township Office at 724-587-3518 TODAY!📞 724-587-3518Let’s come together and make this a great day for our community! 🇺🇸❤️💙#IndependenceTownship #CommunityEvent #VolunteersNeeded #CommunityPicnic #Avella
