Would you like to talk to people about birds and CCAS at Urbana’s Market at the Square this year?
We’re looking for volunteers to help us staff a CCAS table one Saturday morning per month, May through October, 7 AM to noon. Our target dates are May 17, June 14, July 12, August 16, September 20, and October 18.
Volunteers will join a CCAS Board member to inform visitors about birds, the natural areas in Champaign County and surrounding area, opportunities to learn about birds, and events to put that learning to work.
CCAS will provide the table, comfortable chairs, a canopy to protect you from the sun and rain, a collapsible wagon to move things from the parking area to our vendor space, a list of talking points, and materials (including some for children) to hand out. We’ll also have someone on hand to help set up the canopy.
If interested in volunteering, please email CCAS Vice-President Roger Digges (rogerdigges49@gmail.com) with the following info:
Preferred shift length: 1-hour, 2-hour, 3-hour, 4-hour, or even 5-hour shift.
Date(s) available.
Feel free to reach out to CCAS Vice-President Roger Digges at rogerdigges49@gmail.com with any questions.
