Volunteer Fair Planned

Organizations looking to attract new members are being invited to participate in a volunteer fair planned by the Fort Frances Volunteer Bureau.

Karen Mitchell says the April 26 event at the Fort Frances High School is aimed at showcasing local groups to area high school students.

"Anybody that needs volunteers for anything can set up a booth, their pamphlets and a sign-up sheet," says Mitchell. "There's a lot of students calling (the Bureau) for volunteer works for their hours at school and they're not getting any because they can't find anywhere to volunteer. You need 40 hours to graduate so this will help them too."

Organizations or groups interested are being asked to call the Volunteer Bureau before April 23.
