Volunteering at the Little Shop
We are currently seeking volunteers for the gift store in the WKP Kennedy Gallery. This would be a great opportunity if you are an artist interested in meeting people in the community. It would also be the perfect opportunity for students seeking community volunteer hours. The Little shop has a variety of duties including light cleaning, sales and greeting of customers. We have a new sound system, so if you have an ipod or MP3 player, bring it in and spend the afternoon listening to music greeting avid art lovers of North Bay. We would need volunteers from 12- 4pm. If this is something you would be interested in please contact the Little Shop coordinator at 474-1944 ext 234 or jackiecarter.wkp@gmail.com.
