Many Projects To Take On As Your Own

MOFGA needs volunteers to help us complete a number of projects at its Common Ground Education Center in Unity. Some involve the Fair, while others will serve MOFGA’s wider mission or reduce expenses. Some, such as developing a better greywater collection system for food vendors, need specialized equipment and labor. But many have money set aside for materials and only need volunteers. Why wait until pre-fair set-up to help? We could use the help earlier. If you would like to take on one of the following projects, please contact Vernon LeCount at the MOFGA office. Thanks!

1. Carpentry help at Red Barn to complete renovation.
2. Repair new Fair trolley for use at 2011 Fair.
3. Organize Fair materials on 2nd floor of Garage.
4. Stack and sort scrap lumber in various locations.
5. Paint hay wagon
6. Lay tile in bathroom
7. Develop and build action playthings for Children’s Area

MOFGA Volunteers

MOFGA is essentially a volunteer-driven organization, relying on the support of more than 1500 volunteers each year. The collective impact of MOFGA's volunteer community is awesome -- in the true sense of the word. There are many opportunities for people to get involved in informal or very substantive ways. Some volunteers take on enormous responsibilities, and set the programming and policy agendas for the Association. Others take great satisfaction in occasionally helping stuff envelopes in the office or pull weeds from the perennial beds. We greatly appreciate all forms of volunteer support. Without the diverse expertise and unfailing dedication of its volunteers, MOFGA wouldn't exist.
