Family weekend would not be complete without our growing team of Family Weekend Volunteers! Each year our numbers grow as more and more moms and dads join the fun of serving as a Family Weekend volunteer. Volunteers are needed for the registration table and to serve as ticket-takers/greeters throughout the weekend. For more information, contact Kristen Pawlowski Fischer by e-mail.
