Senior Members Tie Dye Social Sent to Members: Come chill with us under the shady cedar trees in the Y’s parking lot for a playful and colorful late summer social and tie-dye event! We’ll bring the popsicles, bandannas, tie-dye supplies and plenty of shade—you bring your lawn chair and anything else you’d like to brighten up (shirts, socks, shorts…you name it!) We need 2 volunteers - ready to interact with Y members and potentially get messy (tie-dye event) and help us set up and host and break down the event. The event is located outside, underneath the large cedar trees in the Y's parking lot. We suggest good foot ware, clothes that you don't mind getting messy or colored, and a desire to hangout with a fun group of folks for a fun summer day.
