The Almaden Valley Women’s Club will host the 34th Annual Almaden Valley Art & Wine Festival at Almaden Lake Park on Sunday, September 19, 2010 from 10:00AM – 6:00PM. The festival relies on the support of volunteers to make this popular community event a continued success. Student volunteers are needed to assist with this year’s event. Last year, more than 150 student volunteers participated in event-day activities.Community service hours will be awarded to qualifying youth volunteers. Students must be 14 years old or older to participate. A minimum two-hour shift is required. Students may work the full day to earn ten community service hours. Volunteer assignments are available throughout the day of the festival and include set up, supply deliveries, clean up and staffing the children’s area (games, crafts and attractions).
