Community Service Limited Means Opportunity!

Three volunteers needed to help with the 4th Annual Christmas Uncorked event on December 8 from 7pm-11pm at Uncorked Wine Bar in Akron. Christmas Uncorked is an annual fundraiser that features live Christmas music, wine specials, a silent auction and a great night out. All of the proceeds from the event are donated to the St. Bernard Hunger Program, which serves meals to over a thousand people in need throughout the Akron community every month. Volunteers would be needed from 6:00pm-10:30pm (or so) on the day of the event to help with the setup, assisting of guests, manning a stereo while musicians are taking breaks and any other issues that might arise. The dress is cocktail attire. This will be a fun opportunity for students to earn required community service limited means hours while enjoying a great night out and helping a great cause.

If interested please contact Kyle Vuchak at 716-479-5194 or kvuchak@gmail.com.
