Volunteers needed for Fiddleville 2013
July 18, 2013 · 0 Comments
As Fiddleville 2013 approaches, Liz Whiten, the President of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 220 in Shelburne is actively looking for Volunteers to help out during the 63rd annually celebrated Old Time Fiddle Contest.
Whiten reminds that volunteers do not have to be members. “A lot of people think the Legion is an exclusive club, but it really isn’t. People can come, sign in and enjoy playing cards, Euchre is quite popular. We have a number of activities running and everyone is welcome.”
Whiten and volunteers served over 1000 breakfasts last year and with success growing every year, even more participants are expected to attend.
“We try to promote our local musicians and hope they come out and showcase their talent. It’s surprising how many talented people are right here in Shelburne, and that includes teen bands and singers,” Whiten commented. “In fact we get a lot of high school students working off their community service hours for high school during our Friday night Wing Nights and they work really hard, they are just great. We’d love to see some new volunteers to help out our regular volunteers as well. Really anyone can volunteer and would be most welcome. ”
For more information, contact the Royal Canadian Legion at 519-925-3800.
