Save the Date for Seger's Spring Festival Fundraiser
Get out your calendars, it's time to save the date for the 3rd annual SPRING CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL fundraiser! It'll be on Sunday May 16 (rain date: Sunday May 23) and will have all the good stuff you've come to expect: moonbounce, food, treats, petting zoo, games, crafts, music, tennis -- almost more fun than we can handle! Best of all, proceeds from the festival will go towards renovating our beloved playground. It's never too early to think about volunteering, so if you're interested -- in helping plan the event, or donating goods, or pitching in at the event -- please email our Events Co-VP Kara Green at kara.green@comcast.net, with "Seger" in the subject line.
